My Story
Hi, I’m Karen!
I’m a proud Filipina, born and raised in the Philippines—fun fact: I was named after Karen Carpenter! In 2008, my family and I moved to Canada, and it’s been home ever since.
By day, I work as a rehab nurse, and by night (and weekends), I pour my heart into calligraphy and engraving. Both roles, surprisingly, share a beautiful thread: they allow me to lift spirits, create joy, and connect with people in meaningful ways.
My love for art began in middle school—I was always doodling, lettering, and finding excuses to make things pretty. Over time, that childhood passion grew into something more, eventually becoming Calligrafea by Karen.
Art lets me tell stories, celebrate life’s special moments, and bring a little magic into everyday things. I’m also a big travel lover—exploring new cultures and places always sparks new ideas and keeps my creativity alive.
Thanks for being here. I’m so excited to share this journey with you.
