She developed a strong interest in textiles, needlework and garment construction which led to becoming a costume designer for theatre productions and festivals— with particular expertise in Medieval and Renaissance era garments.


Karen graduated from St. Olaf College with a degree in religion and classical languages. As a church musician and liturgical writer and artist, she has a deep appreciation for the power of art and music.
