About KarinaMaeStudio

Sales 297
On Etsy since 2015
  • In the studio
  • A collection of sketches on my work table.
  • The completed watercolour of 'Pinch Me' - approximately 8.5"x11" (22x28 cm).
  • First sketch and finished watercolour of 'Waterbabies'.

A world of personable, gentle creatures.

I started making my line of animal greeting cards and prints in 2012 when I worked at a small local company that specializing in printing art. I gradually added to my line of images as I made the transition to working as an artist full time. Each time I add an image I feel like I'm illustrating one more aspect of this magical world full of gentle creatures.

In addition to illustration, I also make the imaginary animal sculptures that you will find in my other shop: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/TheSecretNest

I create my artwork in my studio in the Rock Bay neighbourhood of Victoria, BC Canada.

Thanks so much for visiting,

    My cards are printed by Art Ink Print, my local art print shop. I worked there myself for several years! I design the cards myself and they print them according to my specifications. The cards are colour matched to the original paintings for accuracy. Once printed I package the cards myself.
