About Karen Pierce Gonzalez


It's true:  life is art. A continual coming together of elements, many   unseen until ready to be visible. Until we are ready.  Whatever form is taken - visual, verbal, kinetic, acoustic -  we are always artist and audience. This blessed weave occurs in its own time and always moves us into the next moment of seeing and being seen. 


My fiction, journalism, non-fiction, and poetry have appeared in Big Blend Magazine, BluePepper, Feral: A Journal of Poetry and  Art, Lagom Journal, Marin Independent Journal, The San Francisco Chronicle, Postcard Poems and Prose, Visual Verse, Tiny Thimble Magazine, Twist in Time, and many other publications
. Chapbooks include Down River with Li Po (Finishing Line Press) and Coyote Dreams (Finishing Line Press). Am also involved with North Bay Poetics.  More

As a  folklorist, I facilitate folklore-related and creative writing workshops in the San Francisco Bay Area, and am a former folklore columnist for Big Blend Magazine. I have also written and edited  several folklore-related books, including Writing Your Own Family Stories, Seaweed Song, Love: Potions. Lotions, and Lore and Turn Treasured Memories into FolkloreMore
    My mixed-media art is a conversation with tree bark, branches, roots, pastels, fibers, found objects, and, when lucky, salmon leather. Art exhibits include Finley Person Center, Santa Rosa Arts Center, Sebastopol Center for the Arts, Tiny Galleries Kiosk, Truckenbrod Gallery, and Virtual Art in the Park. More
      MORE: My former work as a seasoned, award-winning public relations professional was designed to shed light on the good work of others. Clients and projects appeared on traditional and online media outlets, including NBC TV, CBS TV,  KTVU TV, Northbay Biz, Bay Area Business Women, New York Post, Denver Post, The San Francisco Chronicle and more. Details
