Former Omaha residents, Karen Anne Greenberg Carnow and Tom Rifkin will be in Omaha on Saturday, May 30 to celebrate their new exhibit in the Eisenberg Gallery at the Staenberg Omaha JCC.  Their work will be on display from Saturday, May 30th through Thursday, June 25th.

After graduating from Westside High School, Karen moved south to attend Arizona State University. She began her career as a special-needs art educator. She continued as an art teacher for 30 years. Karen’s work represents the many layers of her life. Her work is bold and bright, and crosses over many mediums influenced mainly by nature. She currently teaches classes in various facilities and loves to do commissioned projects.

Tom Rifkin is a self-described “late bloomer” to the art scene. His artistic talents did not surface until he retired from his professional career as a marketing executive. His work is inspired by his curious nature. He frequently experiments with new techniques and mediums. Tom makes art ranging from eclectic, abstract, woodworking and Judaica.
