Murals, illustrations and graphics for
Channel Islands National Park

Channel Islands National Park encompasses five remarkable islands and their ocean environment, preserving and protecting a wealth of natural and cultural resources. Isolation over thousands of years has created unique animals, plants, and archeological resources found nowhere else on Earth and helped preserve a place where visitors can experience coastal southern California as it once was.

Karen painted five murals, 20 life-sized cut-out animals and more than 200 individual species for the park's renovated tower at the visitor center in Ventura.
