Postcards of Berkeley’s Secret Stairs for Giftable Moments of Calm

You know those secret paths in Berkeley? The ones that make you feel like you stepped into a secret garden?

I’m drawing those!

Hi, I’m Karen. And I’m making linocut-like drawings, adding dreamy colors, and making postcards, prints and cards for residents and visitors.

So you can take home your very own Berkeley secret pathway.

Berkeley’s Paths Postcards

THE CLAREMONT COLLECTION

These twelve postcards illustrate the beauty and magic of Berkeley paths in the Claremont and Elmwood neighborhoods. I launched this first collection in summer, 2025. And there’s more to come. I’m drawing all 140 paths!

Let me know if you have a favorite you want to see drawn!
