Karen Moran is an artist and healer who uses art for healing.

Born into a family of artists, she became a painter and poet and also developed a career as a psychologist. For 30 years, Karen helped people find images and words to express unconscious feelings and memories, and then work with these images to heal their wounds and build their lives.

Since retiring, Karen has published Forever Tourmaline and completed a decades-long project of archiving the artwork of her family.

A mother and grandmother, she lives with her husband and their dogs and cats in the mountains where she grew up.
