It was here that she met her husband, fellow illustrator Tim Lee. She began her career as a storyboard artist and editorial illustrator but it wasn't until she had children of her own that she discovered her true artistic passion. As she brought home stacks of books from the library to read to her children she began to discover the magic in children's illustration. Karen tries to bring her sense of delight into every painting she does. Each illustration begins with a thoughtful design and drawing. The paintings are finished with watercolor on illustration board. Karen is the recipient of the 2004 Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators Magazine Merit Award for her work in Highlights For Children. Karen and her husband are currently raising their family outside of Raleigh, North Carolina. This is her first children’s book.
