Fine Art & Life

Karen Wallo was born in New Jersey. She is a current member of the Clark County Artist Guild, Vegas Artist Guild, and a prior member of the Henderson Art Association. She currently resides in Las Vegas and New York City. On her maternal side she is a descendent of "Jonosek," the Robin Hood of Czechoslovakia. Her parents were Elizabeth Jonosek and William Wallo (Valo in Czech). Both were one-hundred percent Czechoslovakian, and all previous ancestors were born in Eastern Europe. Karen Wallo began expressing herself creatively at the age of five. She started by playing the organ, and painting and singing became the center of her world as she matured.

Wallo's father was her first art teacher, and they spent time drawing together when she was very young. She had a natural talent. When she was 10 years old she won her first gold medal for a drawing of a dog.

Wallo is related to Maurice Valo, a famous Czechoslovakian artist of the 1930s. While singing and touring she viewed one of his paintings on display in a medical building and was gratified to see his work appreciated in the United States.

Wallo exhibited recently at the Clark County Library in Las Vegas, NV. Her current exhibitions are listed in Media/News.
