Thank you for being here.

Hi! I'm Karina Puente, a passionate visual artist uniquely qualified to help you bring 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.

I aim to captivate 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 art, spanning paintings, drawings, and contemporary Papel Picado textile installations, pays homage to intuition and refining beliefs. It’s easy to see a belief when it's big, and I believe we all have what it takes to create a dream story for our lives that comes true. This is why I showcase 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.

Inspired by the spirit of invention, my creative practice is connected to the legacy of my great-grandmother; a revered seamstress who crafted intricate designs for Indigenous communities a century ago. I use traditional techniques like hand-dyeing material in my garden studio and contemporize my creative practice with sunlight, wind, and fun.

Let's DIVE Intuit!
