Caren Loebel-Fried is an artist and author from Volcano, Hawai`i & Half Moon Bay, California, who learned the ancient art of block printing from her mother. Conservation and the natural world are the inspiration and the foundation of her work.
Caren creates award-winning books for children through adults, and art for conservation organizations, government agencies, and Hawaiian Cultural organizations.
