JUDGE
Michael Karns started his artistic career early on. His parents always encouraged him to follow his dreams. His career in the art industry began because of that encouragement. Michael attended the University of Oshkosh and earned a degree in graphic design and illustration. After graduating he headed to California to work for Disney. His plans changed suddenly along the way and he started working as a graphic artist in the apparel industry. Over the years he has learned different computer programs to make his artwork unique in his industry, enough so that he has won a nationally recognized award. He has become respected by the art community enough that he opened his own business, Boundary Waters Screenprinting.

LOCAL's Gallery is a local company based in Redding, CA that promotes Butte, Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama County artists. We have been in business since Aril 2014. We have had great opportunities to host several arts and crafts shows, one fundraising event to help local children during the holiday season, and we hosted My Golden Valentine. This event had local children creating Valentine art which were delivered to local seniors at retirement homes. We hosted the Mother's Day Artisan Festival the last two years. Both years were a huge success. The first year we had over 600 attendees, the second year was even bigger with nearly a 1,000 attendees.
