Karen Berelowitz, the visionary behind Karmabee in Kingston, NY, has been spreading joy to both children and adults with her unique and artistic drawings. Her commitment to building a sustainable small business that champions localism, creativity, and quality has not only provided friendly and thoughtful service but also contributed to the well-being of the community and the planet.

Karen’s passion for creativity is evident in her prints on baby clothes and notecards. The Karmabee Kids unisex tees, made of 100% cotton in the USA by American Apparel, feature black silk-screen designs and are fully machine-washable. In addition to the clothing line, Karmabee also offers beautifully designed notecards for various occasions or to express one’s feelings, each with envelopes in sets of 10 or custom sets made from any designs available in the shop.

Karen’s journey as an artist began with her love for doodling, an integral part of her life. Her passion for art has always shone through, from filling her school notes with faces and shapes to covering her notepads with spirals and eyeballs during her 12 years of International Development work in Washington DC. During her time at a holistic institute in the Hudson Valley NY in 2007, she discovered how her brain’s distraction during esoteric discussions led to more inspired drawings—this pivotal moment, combined with the positive reception of her make-your-own postcards by many, led her to venture into the local arts fair, where she began printing her designs on notecards and baby clothes, thus laying the foundation for Karmabee.

Karambee products can be purchased online or at these locations.
