Karen Gjelsteen’s career has been marked by her work as an educator, a scenic designer and now as an exhibiting mixed media artist.
Recently Karen retired from Cornish College of the Arts where she was a founding visionary of the Performance Production Department. As full professor, she taught scenic design and mentored set designers, scenic painters, and props artisans.
As a professional theatrical scenic designer, Karen Gjelsteen worked in regional and national theatres, designing some 140 productions. Her scenic designs have appeared from Seattle to Atlanta, from Honolulu to Anchorage, and from Portland to Berkeley, where she was awarded numerous Bay Area Theatre Awards. In 2007, she received the Gregory Falls Sustained Achievement Award for her contributions to the Seattle theatre community.
Karen Gjelsteen is now an exhibiting artist. Her art has shown in several juried group exhibitions. After last summer’s highly successful solo exhibition, Healing and Recovery, A Celebration, she is pleased to showcase another solo exhibit called Play at the Cornish Playhouse on the Seattle Center campus. She will be exhibiting her mixed media art inspired by her scenic design career.
