Karina 🌿🍂

Do you have a place you go, somewhere that makes you feel completely at peace & in the flow of the present, somewhere where time stands still, worries & stresses fade away? This is it for me, under the canopy in the flickering sunlight 😊 #art #artprocess #whenisapaintingfinished #artistnz

I can't wait to deliver this in a few weeks to its forever home.. sold on the opening night of my exhibition 'Into the Light'. 'Dancing in the Shadow' explores how both light & darkness shape us, revealing the beauty & wisdom hidden in the parts of us we try to avoid. Scroll to the end to see the one of the underlayers, I love looking back on my layers to see where the magic grew from! Currently on show at The Cellar Door Gallery - Matawhero Wines, Gisborne until the 9th Feb. 'Dancing in the Shadow' 1.4m x 1.2m Oil & wax on plywood Framed in natural oak SOLD #nzartist #nzart #nzartist #nzartshow #oilpainter #oilpaint #contemporaryart #fineart #art #coldwax

It's tricky to show online how much texture & depth there is in my paintings, so here are some of my fave close-ups of the work from my 'Into the Light' series. Every colour, mark & scratch is intuitive & carries a history within the layers. When people connect with my work I feel they are connecting with the emotion captured within these layers. 'Into the Light' On now until 9th Feb Matawhero Wines Gisborne Weds-Sun 12-4.30pm #nzart #nzartist #intothelight #gisbornenz #matawherowines

Feeling incredibly grateful & happy after Friday nights opening of my new works 'Into the Light' in the Cellar Door Gallery at Matawhero Wines.

Such a warm, beautiful summer evening in the most beautiful vineyard setting & delicious wines plus the amazing support blew me away 🥰 So many pieces have found new homes on opening night I'm so grateful to those of you who connected with my art. A big thank you to Kirsten & the team at Matawhero Wines for hosting & looking after everything so beautifully.

This piece 'Silent Embrace' lived in a white frame for a while & when I switched it over to a natural frame it sold immediately to a lovely couple who had the perfect spot for it. Scroll to the end to see the underlayers .. & it's true I love green so much I got married in it 😂 'Silent Embrace' Oil & wax on board Natural oak frame SOLD #nature #natureinart #green #greenqueen #greenart #greenlover #nzart #nzartist #nzartists

There's something about framing my tree inspired work in gorgeous natural oak, creating harmony between subject & source just makes me happy, without it the work just doesn't feel complete 🍂 ✨ #nzart #nzartist #inspiredbyart #framing ##inspiredartists #artforhome

Some pieces just glide into reality & that's not always the case! I absolutely love this piece & spend much time retracing my process & trying to remember its beginnings but it eludes me.. & maybe that's meant to be, the magic will always be the magic ✨ Rich with texture & contrast 'Shaped by the Seasons' moves like nature itself using harmonious colour & calm. Reflecting how we're slowly shaped by the rhythms around us, the turn of the seasons, the slow passage of time & the quiet changes that make us along the way 🍂 SOLD Shaped by the seasons Oil & wax Framed in natural oak 102x102cm
