About Karen

INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER AND AUTHOR 


Karen S. Davis (nee Molner) began her global adventures with a camera when she was five years old. She has since photographed her exploits across four continents, capturing scenery and celebrities, presidents and princes, animals and astronauts—and one thrilling morning inside the Space Shuttle Columbia, where she assumed the commander's seat. 


Santa Anita Morning Rhapsody, featured on national TV and radio, is Karen's photo portrayal of behind-the-scenes thoroughbred training at Santa Anita Park, California. Her photos and book are on display worldwide.  


The book is introduced by Racing Hall of Famers Richard Mandella (trainer) and Eddie Delahoussaye (jockey) and includes tributes from Hall of Fame jockeys Gary Stevens, Laffit Pincay Jr., and Ron Turcotte (1973 Triple Crown winner on Secretariat), trainers Ron McAnally and Jack Van Berg, and many other notables.
