After studying graphics at the Willem De Kooning Hogeschool in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, she went to Japan in 2006 where she participated in NAPP, the Nagasawa Art Park Project, an artist-in-residence to promote mokuhanga and the forerunner of today’s Mi-Lab.
Karen uses mokuhanga in her prints, books as well as objects and installations.
Her work has been shown both in Norway and abroad.
