Hi, I’m Karina Puente, a passionate visual artist who helps you bring your lightest and brightest ideas forward. I do this through custom art, creative focus sessions, and inspiring workshops.
I’m the founder of the DIVE Intuit Program and lead a women-led studio dedicated to joy, clarity, and the power of intentional art. I create for leaders with a flair for design.
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 work spans paintings, drawings, and contemporary Papel Picado textile installations. These pieces honor intuition and the practice of refining belief. I’ve found that it’s easier to see a belief when it’s big.
This is why I share vibrant, large-scale art with the world, showing in places like the Corcoran National Gallery, Weeksville Heritage Center, Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, and Miami MoCA.
My creative practice is inspired by the spirit of invention and shaped by the legacy of my great-grandmother, a seamstress who crafted intricate designs for Indigenous communities nearly a century ago.
I carry that legacy forward with care, using hand-dyeing techniques in my garden studio and letting sunlight, wind, and joy lead the way.
Whether you’re here to commission art, join a DIVE session, or begin something new, I’m glad you found your way here.
Let’s DIVE Intuit.
With care,
Karina Puente
