Heavily influenced by the death of her brother from a rare genetic disease — Karen began using her art form to raise awareness & educate her audience on the physical & emotional impact of serious medical issues. Her Kickstarter-funded her first book, “An Ordinary Day, Kids with Rare Genetic Conditions.

Proceeds went to a non-profit supporting children affected by genetic disease.  "After That Day - Stories of Epilepsy" is her second published book.
