Karen McCann is a photographer who enjoys shooting local scenes in New England, as well using them in mixed media art to pay homage to her Mom and Aunt who instilled a love of textiles in her.

McCann uses her many years of owning a Photo Legacy business to document her own personal life by creating photo fiber books of her images onto cotton, linen and handmade paper. She often enhances these pieces with embroidered stitching, resulting in unique mixed media pieces.

McCann’s work has been included in a number of exhibitions including HeartSpot Gallery, Blackstone River Theater Gallery, Gallery Night Providence, East Bay Chamber of Commerce Art Night, Wickford Art Association, Pawtucket Arts Collaborative and Rhode Island Center for Photographic Arts. She has won awards at the Wickford Art Association Juried Photography Exhibit and Sprout Gallery Art Show. She has been active in the Rhode Island Threads Fiber Art Group for many years.

McCann devotes her time between taking photos of her beloved New England and creating Art at her studio at 30 Cutler Street, Warren, RI.
