She has been exploring the world through the lens of a camera ever since. Sometimes it is exploring the fragile beauty of nature. At others, it is teasing out the details of urban landscapes. As often as possible, it is shooting from a corner of a folk festival stage, waiting to capture those elusive moments when the magic occurs between performers. Karen's photographs have been published in Photo Life, Ottawa Magazine, Folk Prints, Maclean’s, the Globe and Mail and the National Gallery of Canada’s magazine, Vernissage.
