Hi, I’m Karina!

I'm Karina Puente, a passionate visual artist uniquely qualified to guide you into bringing your lightest and brightest ideas forward.

 

I'm the founder of the DIVE Intuit Program and run a women-led studio dedicated to evoking joy, focus, and positivity through art.

 

My journey as a Mexican-American artist in the Pocono Mountains is deeply rooted in the rich cultural heritage of the Santa Ynez Valley in central California, where I grew up.

 

My art, spanning paintings, drawings, and contemporary Papel Picado installations, pays homage to La Sirena and Mexican traditions.

 

I aim to captivate leaders with a flair for design.

 

With a track record of showcasing my vibrant, large-scale art in prestigious venues such as the Corcoran National Gallery, Weeksville Heritage Center, Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, Miami MoCA, and more, I know how to help you bring your best to the table.

 

Inspired by the spirit of invention, I employ traditional techniques like hand-dyeing and watercolor in my garden studio. This creative environment resonates with the legacy of my great-great-grandmother, a revered seamstress who crafted intricate designs for Indigenous communities a century ago.

 

I keep this timeless practice alive by embracing the artistry of handmade work and infusing it with fun.

Let's DIVE Intuit!

Truth, Trust, and Timing.
