Born and raised in Montreal, Karen Schauber has called Vancouver home for the past three decades. Schauber cultivated a lifelong passion for the landscape paintings of the Group of Seven during her many visits to the McMichael Gallery in Kleinburg, Ontario, while she was a university student in Toronto in the early ’80s. Now, coupled with her obsession for flash fiction, her work appearing extensively in literary journals and anthologies including <i>Brilliant Flash Fiction, Bending Genres, The Ekphrastic Review,</i> and <i>Fiction Southeast,</i> she has brought this inspired artistic and literary project to life as <i>The Group of Seven Reimagined: Contemporary Stories Inspired by Historic Canadian Paintings.</i>
