Karen has Bachelor degrees in Management Information Systems and Personnel Administration. She applied these studies to banking after graduation. Following a layoff, due to corporate downsizing (and some soul searching) Karen went back to school for art, while also focusing on personal growth and the study of psychology. Upon completing a year of art school, Karen was accepted to a Masters Degree program in Art Therapy at George Washington University in Washington, DC.

During her first semester at GW, Karen was diagnosed with a malformation of arteries and veins in the brain, a congenital birth defect that grows continually, leaving one ever more prone to strokes and seizures. In January of 1990, she endured nine hours of surgery to remove the mass. As part of her recovery, Karen has devoted herself to spiritual and mind/body studies. She credits much of her healing to prayer vigils held for her, a focus on alternative healing modalities, and in a belief that there is a Divine Plan for each of us, and hers was yet to be completed.

Over the past 14 years, she has facilitated church services, lead prayer groups, meditation groups, and now through her current work and CD, is blending prayer and meditation.

Karen enjoys analysis of religion and its origins (particularly early Christianity), history, and archeology. She has studied art history and early-Christian art and architecture extensively, throughout Europe, with focused study in the United Kingdom and Italy.
