Karen’s calling to Awaken and Harness Creative Power! lights her up.



She deeply believes that creativity is an innate human quality and is not only about making art – it is about making our lives.  She pursues her mission in many ways as a Professional Artist/Illustrator who does mixed media work and illustrates children’s books through her company, Studio Light Illustration.  She is also a Creative Coach and Teacher at her other company, HowDoodle, where she help Creatives who are struggling with Executive Functioning. She does this because she firmly believe that the world needs Creative ideas, voice, vision, and curious, playful, imagination to make this a better world for all.





Her toolbox is honed from a lifetime of making art, over two decades of teaching, mentoring, and coaching thousands of people of all ages and all backgrounds, studying community arts, her work in social justice, healing arts, and connecting with ideas and people in the realm of empowerment and expanding consciousness. She have a BFA from Xavier University and an MA in Cultural Management from City University London as well as several coaching certifications.

Glenda Goodrich (GG) is a mixed media artist, art doula, SoulCollage facilitator, and devoted practitioner of the vision quest ceremony. She uses a soulful grounded approach, along with an open heart, to guide others in exploring their creative potential. She offers a variety of creative arts workshops including her most recent offering, “13 Moons: Art and SoulCollage Quest” which uses art in a playful way to explore the 13 juicy life questions.







GG’s book, Solo Passage: 13 Quests, 13 Questions, chronicles the sacred ceremonies that connected her to the land, wove her into nature’s web, and transformed her from a woman who worked to please others into a woman who forged her own path. It is a profound reflection on the healing and restorative power of nature. GG is a grandmother of three and a great grandmother of four. She lives in a cottage in Salem, Oregon.
