Karen Hutton
Karen's world is a big ball of photographic and voiceover fun! Think of it as: Lenses and Light meet Microphones, Words and Sound. They each tell stories. Express a unique 'signature.' What Karen loves most is when voice and vision blend. Like with her latest multimedia endeavor, LIL GALLERIES project, as the route guidance assistant in MOTIONX-GPS DRIVE or in Trey Ratcliff's STUCK ON EARTH. The way she sees it, our individual signature – our 'voice' – connects us. It is our hearts speaking, through everything we do.
