Karen Canner Moss (Brookline, Massachusetts) passed away on July 1, 2026. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Karen Canner Moss to show support.

She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, Leonard Canner and Norma Canner (Green); her husband Dennis Livingston; her brother Barry Canner; her son Jonah Livingston; her daughter-in-law Ellie Livingston; her grandchildren, Nomi and Ripley Livingston; and her stepdaughter Melissa Demian.

During the long professional career in art that followed, Karen's painting focused on issues as diverse as the interaction between human and animal worlds, Victorian explorers and naturalists, the changing nature of childhood, incarceration in the United States, and most recently, the spaces people created for themselves during the Covid-19 pandemic and the issue of banned books.
