She studied at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, earning a BFA in Visual Arts. Representation is important to her, she likes to consider how she can include varying forms of representation within the work that she does. Karlene currently lives on the unceded and ancestral home territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tseil-Waututh people.

“Every Child Matters speaks to all Indigenous Peoples — past and present — whose lives have been impacted by the residential school system. Phyllis and Karlene beautifully honour the unity, strength and resolve shared by Survivors, their families and their communities. Residential schools took our children and tried to break their vibrant spirits. With this book, the children of today can learn the truths of this history and how they can play a part in making sure every child matters.” —Stephanie Scott, Director of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation
