The Music Story: It wasn’t until an accident that caused a head injury and a near-death experience that Karen started to play the piano spontaneously.

The music will put the listener into a relaxed state of consciousness.

  When Karen was eight years old, she began to play classical guitar for 15+ years. Her teacher was from The Royal Danish Academy of Music . Her wish was to become a musician at that time, but she became a professional visual artist. Instead, first, 25 years later, the music came suddenly to her again, and she was blessed with the gift of playing piano and composing music that she had never done before. Karen has been very close to Angels since she was a child. As she describes it, angels are energy, frequency, and vibration some can feel them, some can see them, and some can hear them. I wish to bring the energy of angels closer to humans in my art and music. Angels are here to bring Peace, Love, Hope, and Compassion to every human on this earth, my hope is to let them come closer to you.
