Description
Karen Sames was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. From an early age, she was surrounded by art. An experience with occupational therapy during the third grade jumpstarted her journey connecting art to occupation. Karen believes that art is a necessary part of life and credits much of her own personal success with art to her friends and family for their inspiration and to the instructors at the Eagan Art House in Minnesota. Her piece “Cherry Blossoms,” a pastel on paper (See Figure 1) is based on a photograph taken by her son who is currently living in Japan, and graces the cover of the Spring 2024 edition of the Open Journal of Occupational Therapy (OJOT).
