About Me

I am a Christian professional artist, singer and actress living in Las Vegas for the past 12 years. (www.karenwallo.com) I am originally from New Jersey and have been in all types of bands my entire life. Currently a song I sang on The Art Rock Circus' cd called "Tell-A-Vision," is being played all through Europe and on a few progressive rock stations in the USA. The name of the song is "Begin Before Becomes." See the profile for the Art Rock Circus in my top 8. At the moment they are not featuring my version of the song, but instead a live version, I sang on the cd studio cut. I have been on MTV (not for my music) and on the Dr. Phil show. I toured with "The Box Tops," for 2 years. They had a number one record out called "The Letter," in the late 60's. In this gig I sang Grace Slick and other female covers. They wanted to try a female element in their band for awhile. It was an amazing experience. I lived in Austria in 94' singing in an original band and that was even more phenomenal!! I love Europe and my roots are in the Czech Republic and Slovakia on both sides. I lived and sang with an original band in Austria in 1994. I have recorded in Nashville as well, and get hired to do tracks for various bands. I also have done jingles. I am available for live performances, full or part time bands and studio work. I also do acting in commericials and extra parts. In addition, I am an artist and my medium is acrylic on canvas. I use special techniques to build up the paint so that it appears like oil. You can see several of my pieces here. I do commissioned larger pieces custom made for the client in styles ranging from Sea Scapes to Abstracts and everything in between. I also paint a person's "Personality Portrait", (in abstract form) which many have found fascinating. I am on this site to network my art, my music and also to make new friends of like mind. My art website is: www.karenwallo.com God bless you all with perfect health, happiness, prosperity, and Inner Peace!!!

My Interests

MUSIC AND ART, of course! I am also an actress, writer, poet and appreciate good literature... Another main interest of mine is helping animals in any way I can. My dream is to become a famous Christian rock star or a famous artist (painter) or actress b4 I die, so that I have enough money to donate to all the best animal rights causes. I am currently working on a project to stop the senseless killing of wolves in Alaska, and to stop the Navy from deploying dangerous sonar in the oceans that will injure and kill thousands of whales and dolphins...I love Europe and have been there several times...
