Karen Carr does a lot of huge murals for famous museums in the United States. She has to know all about the kinds of plants that grew back in the time of the dinosaurs, as well as what the animals look like. She spends a lot of time doing research and finding out what dinosaurs look like, and then she plans her murals. When they are put up on the walls of the museum, they may be two storeys high, and maybe twenty metres long!

She also paints pictures that are used in books about dinosaurs.

This is a tyrannosaurus rex charging.

We wrote to her to ask if she would let us use her pictures on our intranet, and she said yes. If you would like to write to her, and tell her what you think of her art work, you can send her an email at Karencarr@ont.com. You can see her gallery on her own website at http://develop.OnlineToday.Com/webs/karencarr/
