Her desire to use her senses to manipulate and explore the world around her has enabled her to come to understand Nature as essential to all of our well-beingness. The peace and harmony that lie within the forests, oceans, lakes, skies, mountains, etc…Illustrate the importance of symbiotic interaction. Nature contains all the secrets of a happy and fulfilling life if we ask with an open mind the deepest questions in our hearts and listen with ears aligned to the many voices that she sings to us in. Karina listens to the voices and conveys the impressions to works in wood, stone and printmaking. The works impart the spirit of the Nature she loves as well as the essence of her day-to-day experience. She has seen that her experiences are similar to 'everyman's' and hopes that her works will inspire people to unearth Mother Nature in their own lives and come away with a greater sense of self awareness and partnership with all. Thu, 29 May 2008 13:34:58 GMT http://www.salidaart.com/Pro_News/aid=2.html Welcome! Please excuse our moving, rearranging and testing. You may have noticed that we changed things around a bit. The main purpose of our site has changed. When I stopped painting and started the site it was to show off all of the wonderful artists in the area who were not represented online - before many of them had there own computers, etc... It's no longer necessary to do so, so I removed the database and thought I'd put the space to much better use. To keep with tradition and promote our Salida, Colorado area artists, we'll maintain a "Do-it-yourself" area artist gallery with links to the artist's websites. Artists may use the shared gallery, add videos, add shows to the calendar, submit links to the link section, or submit an article such as the one below at no charge. Please feel free to add your latest photos frequently. Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:37:28 GMT
