Karen Riddet has been involved in the arts most of her life. With an associate degree in art, her work has transitioned over the years from acrylic painting to creating hand made 1/12th scale miniatures.  Using basswood, oven baked clay and "found" or modified objects, her attention to detail, historical research and occasionally, sense of humor combine in creating exquisite miniatures. Many of her room boxes are actually enclosed in vintage or collectible wooden boxes that once held such indispensible items as Scotch whisky, prunes, apricots, ammunition or dynamite.  Her work has been featured in Miniature Collector Magazine and Miniatures Magazine and has been exhibited at Midwest exhibitions including the University of Wisconsin, Platteville, Harry Nohr Gallery.
