Karen Tobias has always had an interest in art and has continued to pursue her passion into her retirement years. The Carmel watercolorist has now earned the interest of her peers, as one of her paintings has been selected by the Watercolor Society of Indiana to be displayed at Newfields Museum in Indianapolis beginning Sunday, Aug. 5.
Her fellow residents at The Barrington of Carmel, an area senior living community, say they couldn’t be prouder.
She can often be seen in the community’s art studio, one of the many amenities offered to residents pursuing a myriad of passions.
“Karen’s art is an inspiration to us all, and this honor speaks to the fact that we’re never too old to follow our dreams,” said Jesse Sias, executive director of The Barrington of Carmel. “She truly represents the active, vibrant senior who makes The Barrington a special community.”
