For more than 30 years, artist Karen Hahn has shared her uplifting messages to all of those who seek comfort, insight and peace. Designed from her heart, Foundations collection combines her own writing with thoughts and prayers that bring meaning to life’s journey.

Karen’s designs reflect her creative attention to detail, her sensitive touch and delightful sense of design. The inspiration for Karen’s lines comes from the beauty of everyday life, faith and the love of her family. Always aspiring to learn and grow, she is influenced by nature and the world around her. She likes to create with a connection to nature, using organic patterns and a natural color palette.

“In my work, I believe a single, perfect word can make the difference between a good day and a sad one; a clever saying can make you laugh and smile; a thoughtful phrase can bring a tear of remembrance; those things combined with an artful presentation can sit within reach to remind us that we are all loved.” – Karen Hahn
