Kara Jones is a Creative Grief Educator and heARTist behind GriefAndCreativity.com. She co-founded both the Creative Grief Studio and KotaPress, and she’s a Carnegie Mellon graduate who interned for 3 years at Mister Rogers Neighborhood back in the day. For the past couple of decades, Kara has been exploring creative approaches to grief experiences.
