About
The Artist
- Karen DiNicola
My journey
began in 1996 when a friend talked me into going to a one-day
bear-making workshop. It only took that one day to draw me into the
world of teddy bears.
My work
with needles is not only confined to the creation of teddy bears. I
also have a career as an Acupuncturist and together with my husband
Bruno (great name for a bear) run a busy practice in Coffs Harbour, on
the north coast of New South Wales. I enjoy the challenge of being
able to balance my life with careers.
I love to
give each bear its individual personality and my challenge is always
to make sure that when you meet my bears, you leave with a smile on
your face and a sparkle in your eyes and your heart feels lighter.
Then I know that the bears I have created have done their job well.
I have had
the honour of attending many overseas and local shows and my bears now
reside in many different parts of the world in both private
collections and also museums.
I invite
you to enjoy the experience of browsing my Gallery of Bears. Enjoy
your journey & please email me or sign the guest book - I would
love to hear from you.
Hugs
Karen
