Karen Earle Lile

Conceptual artist, historian, and founder of the UDCT (Unique Digital Commemorative Token) series — a registry of authenticated digital commemoratives that recognize and preserve historical and cultural events across art, music, and civic life. Lile is internationally recognized for her work as conceptual artist and producer of the USPS Building Bridges™ Special Postal Cancellation Series, which represents an ongoing relationship with the United States Postal Service as an independent art director and conceptual artist. Through UDCT, she extends this vision into the digital domain — creating tokens of record that are independent of currency, rooted in provenance, and designed to commemorate meaningful moments in human achievement and collaboration.
