Published: Aug. 28, 2021, 3 p.m.

Kara is a small town mom with big dreams. She was born without an eardrum in one ear and is half deaf in the other ear. After going through multiple surgeries, she felt like an oddball in high school, but she didn’t let her disability stop her from pursuing her passion. She started her art business at 19 and has been self-employed ever since. Kara has been married for 15 years, and she has two sons, who she loves to make costumes and fun props for.
