As the co-owner of Lush Cosmetics North America, Karen has been able to combine her passion for philanthropy, travel and photography with her business. Since Karen’s first trip to Africa in 2001, her love for the continent has grown with each of the sixty times she has visited. She enjoys photographing the people, animals and culture to educate on all that Africa has to offer and all that must be protected. Karen resides in Vancouver, Canada with her husband and two children.
