About Karen

Welcome! I'm Karen, the artist and owner behind Juniper Skies!

I am a clinical psychologist and nature-loving jewelry designer. I have a deep passion for storytelling and exploring how we create meaning in our lives. I believe that sharing our stories shapes our understanding of ourselves and the world around us in ways that help us grow into our purpose and realize more fully who we are.

Our beautiful Earth is a common thread in all of our stories. Inspired by the natural beauty of the earth, sea, sky, and cosmos, my jewelry is a celebration of connection—to ourselves, to each other, and to this wondrous place we all share. My designs are shaped by the mystery of the sea, the enduring yet ever changing strength of the earth, and the openness of the sky and celestial space, infusing each piece with a sense of wonder, resilience, and boundless possibility. I design pieces that are more than adornment; they are expressions of who we are and the paths we’ve traveled. Through organic forms and timeless materials, my creations invite wearers to embrace their own narrative and carry it with them as a source of inspiration and strength.
