If you know Karen Justice's work,  you already know her style and what she stands for.  A bit of info from her self-titled website:

Karen’s diverse background started as a fashion and accessory designer.  Using her love for animals as inspiration she created what would become signature romantic designs.  She experienced overnight success and drew acclaim from top fashion editors, magazines, newspapers and television shows.  Her small company, Tigre Lis Enterprises started selling to upscale retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom, amongst other high end boutiques and department stores throughout the US.  The company soon opened showrooms and offices in Canada, New York, Dallas, Miami and Los Angeles. Her designs also met with critical acclaim internationally and Karen was one of the American designers invited to present her line at a top fashion venue in Paris.  Tigre Lis has been collected by celebrities and appeared in some of the world’s top international fashion magazines such as Vogue, Woman’s Wear Daily, Woman’s World, Seventeen Magazine and Family Circle.

Karen was contacted by an agent who had worked with one of the most successful companies in the field of animation – Disney.  He was retiring but had become aware of her work and reached out to offer his encouragement. He told her that he felt she had a special talent – she had her own “voice.”  He said “There are a lot of good artists but very few possess your ability to give life and dimension (heart) to a character.”  He then generously passed on valuable guidance she would eventually need in developing product for the licensing industry.

So Karen branched out and created custom creations and signature pieces for celebrities and major corporations who wanted to market their “brand” through the lucrative gift industry.  She also wanted to help other people who were struggling and so she authored a book called “Barracuda in Bunny Slippers.”  It was a self-help guide on how she developed her business from scratch, with no funding and against a lot of supposedly insurmountable odds, “can’t be dones” and know best attitudes.

Through the next few years Karen faced many tough character building hardships but also wonderful things happened.  She was approached by one of the Country’s largest greeting card companies who asked if they might license her images.  She decided instead to open her own card line and Wild Jungle Chicken Inc was born.

 Karen is a spiritual dreamer who paints the light.
