Kara Muir

Kara "Picante" Muir is an illustrator, crafts artist, blogger, belly dancer, and competitive air guitarist (there is such a thing). She was a massage therapist for 20 years before she was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer.

To occupy herself during treatment, she started drawing pet portraits and decided to re-illustrate and re-release FIONA PLAYS WITH HER BEAVER, a book she self-published in 2011 inspired by her pug Fiona and Fiona's favorite chew toy.

Though she has no children, Kara practically raised her four siblings and has read stories to countless kids. She lives in Oregon with her husband and three dogs.
