Karen have been on a journey to find herself in the art world. The majority of her inspiration comes from nature around the world and teachings from the universe. Her work usually features animals, landscapes, and plants. Karen aims to cultivate a friendly, calm, and vibrant environment for viewers to take space in order to reevaluate their relationship with the world and find happiness within themselves. Her goal is to create pieces that are not just for aesthetics but allow viewers to utilize it as a vehicle to explore their body and mind.
