Artistic Book and Web Design
Founder and CEO
Artistic Book
and Web Design was developed by Karen Jean
Matsko Hood. Hood is a business entrepreneur,
prolific author, poet, cook, feminist, and child
advocate.
About Karen Jean Matsko
Hood
Karen Jean Matsko Hood was born in Great
Falls, Montana, where she attended St. Gerard's
Elementary School and graduated from Great Falls
Central Catholic High School. Hood received
scholarships from the College of St. Benedict,
St. Joseph, Minnesota, and also attended St.
John's University in Collegeville,
Minnesota.
After student teaching high school biology in
Minneapolis, Minnesota, for four years, she
married James G. Hood, her college sweetheart,
in her home state of Montana. From there, Hood
and her husband moved to St. Croix, U.S. Virgin
Islands, where they both taught junior high and
high school math and sciences. They then moved
to Iowa City, Iowa, where she worked as a
research assistant and a part-time teacher for
four years.
In 1980, Hood and her husband moved to
Spokane, Washington. She currently lives in
Greenacres, Washington with her husband, sixteen
children, and foster children. Her many
experiences have inspired her to continue to
conduct research and write amidst her busy
family and professional schedule.
Ms. Hood has continued her education by
taking a variety of postgraduate classes at
Eastern Washington University, Cheney,
Washington; University of Washington, Seattle,
Washington; Spokane Community College, Spokane
Washington; Spokane Falls Community College,
Spokane, Washington; Taylor University, Fort
Wayne, Indiana; Lewis-Clark State College, Coeur
d'Alene, Idaho; North Idaho College, Coeur
dAlene, Idaho; and University of Iowa, Iowa
City, Iowa. She is currently working to complete
her Ph.D. in Leadership Studies through Gonzaga
University in Spokane, Washington.
Ms. Hood is an active child advocate and has
worked as a Court Appointed Special Advocate
(CASA) in the Spokane Juvenile Court System. She
and her husband have also provided a home for
many foster children. Along with their five
biological children, they have adopted eleven
children into their family from the United
States, Korea, India, and Ethiopia.
About
the Author
Karen Jean Matsko Hood began her professional
writing career later in life. She is now a
prolific writer of fiction, nonfiction, and
poetry for adults and children. Hoods first
books of poetry present a distinctive
combination of themes and poetic formats. Both
her fiction and nonfiction exhibit a unique
voice of compassion and purpose. The recurring
theme in Hoods nonfiction is providing a voice
for those whose struggles are otherwise ignored.
Hoods writing is strong-minded yet lyrical. She
is a meticulous wordsmith and writes with
passion. She is versatile in her writing style
and deals with a wide range of themes and
topics. Her writing has been published in a
myriad of magazines and publications and on an
international level.
About
the Poet
Hoods writing reminds us of the importance of
our link with nature and the environment in our
daily lives. Her blend of traditionalism and
modernism brings a current freshness and
uniqueness to her poetic voice. Demonstrating
common crises essential to our core, her poetry
also voices outrage at social injustices, and
inequalities. Karen Jean Matsko Hoods poetry
brings poignancy to the most hopeless of
situations. She is optimistic in her quest for
dignity and social justice. Hood also writes
about personal and spiritual themes, is a
passionate feminist and an ardently active
childs rights advocate. She writes with a proud
regionalism, yet expands her writing to
international concerns. Hood reveals two
viewpoints in her writing: One is in awe of the
beauty of life and nature, while the other
struggles with social injustice and
inequity.
About
the Researcher
As a researcher, Karen Jean Matsko Hood
places her focus on child abuse and neglect and
domestic violence. She also researches to find
possible solutions to these growing social
problems. Hood has incorporated the studies of
findings of research and drug abuse in families
in her writings. Hoods research topics include
such diverse topics as education, attachment
disorder, attachment disorder therapy and
treatment, the foster care system, human
development, parenting, adoption, health, and
historical topics. She is also interested in
food and nutrition research, which she uses for
her epicurean writing. Hood uses her B.S. Degree
in Natural Science along with her research
training in her Ph.D. program to conduct
research on various plants and animal topics
including equine, canine, and botanical
research.

The first cookbook in the series is Apple
