Hey hey! I’m Karina.

Artist. Mostly a Painter, but all mediums are fun and fascinating - therefor that title doesn’t always feel wholly true. Right now – Painter fits. The beauty and interconnectedness of our natural world has always been the root of my creative force, creative fire. It’s forever astonished me and continues to each day I step foot outdoors. How could you not fall in love with the trees, the lakes, the moon, over and over and over again for eternity? To me, it’s common sense to live as close to it all as possible – always has been. Love, simplicity, wonder, and passion have lead me to find myself living out my twenties in a rustic cabin in the woods with a beautiful partner who is gracious enough to let me turn our small space into a ridiculous mess of art supplies each day. Really, the space is much too small to have so many roles but somehow we make it work – with a giant of a dog too! It’s quite inspiring, actually. But in all seriousness, this place has made the most intricate mark on my soul, and has quickly become my biggest source of inspiration.

As you glance through my work over the years, you’ll find an array of themes and stories. I used to get down on myself thinking I needed to find this one thing that I was good at, but over the years I’ve seemed to have grown wiser. And my wiser self has decided to forever be exploring artistic ritual – and that’s the most wonderous journey to be on. How beautiful that we get to explore our relationship with self and creative expression with endless potential for growth.

We are ever-evolving beings; currently, I’m feeling pulled to experiment and create with as much intention and space as I can. Diving deep into my own shadows and seeing what happens when we choose to truly set aside fear and do the things that scare us the most.

Thank you for being here – it means the world.
