Born on a U.S. Navy base in Kenitra Morocco, artist/educator Karl Stephan grew up in Washington D.C., Honolulu and the New York City suburbs. After more than 25 years in sales, Karl returned to painting in the wake of the terror attacks of 2001. He curated the well-regarded Wall to Wall exhibits on community and collaborative art at Nave Gallery. Karl works and teaches in his Cambridge studio, at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and in various other settings. He has a BFA from Guilford College and a Masters in Art Education from Tufts SMFA.
