Karen Krantz was born, then she cried. That's her best guess. Not much has changed. Except that she spends most of her time in hot pursuit of wonder and amazement. It's all around us. Just look. Come to her shows and laugh out your humiliations, recriminations, anxieties, sadnesses, regrets, doubts, depressions, rages and hallucinations until you become a big, pulsating ball of love. It's true.

Karen is a hyphenate human being. That's putting it mildly. She likes to interact with other humans in many mediums, like live stages, film, bars, theaters, highways, beaches and bowling alleys. Only once, but it still counts. When she's in LA, she thinks a lot about NYC. When she's in NYC, she longs for LA. When she's at home, she thinks about Sacramento. Her heart resides in all places, and Karen can be found in most cities walking around and pointing at birds.
