About the Childrens Coloring Book Author and Illustrator, Karen L. Carney
Barklay and Eve, the inspiration for the series, are Portuguese Water Dogs. They are the actual pets of author and illustrator, Karen L. Carney. Karen is a Registered Nurse and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an extensive background. As a recipient of the American Cancer Society's Lane W. Adams Award, she has earned national recognition for clinical excellence. She has been an adjunct College professor at Central Connecticut State University and Southern Connecticut State University for over 10 years, teaching courses in Death and Dying, Bereavement and Aging.
