I painted this piece as a theater poster titled Mask, Myth, and Remorse: The Wild West. Now part of the Lynda Meizner's collection.

Karina Puente started her journey as a professional artist 10 years ago when she exhibited her work for the first time at age fourteen, and can't remember when art didn't exist in her life.
Surprisingly as a 24 year old woman, she has managed to retain the distinct, and enviable, child-like quality of being inspired. She offers insight on inspiration through her teachings and public speakings.
A word Puente excitedly uses often is "vision". She considers herself a visionary with innovation to share, always recreating herself and style.
That explains, in part, why she has delved into several media such as oil, pastel, clay and plaster and doesn't only paint in the studion, but creates on-site at events and weddings as well.
Puente states that she wants to make art that will inspire, as still images, a movement of positivity. "I make work that invites people to believe in themselves and the power of imaginative dreaming. There are no barriers to what we create and I am going to make art for the rest of my life."
Puente is currently producing a body of work that merges figurative painting with sculpture and stained glass. This innovative style continues Puente's investigation of ideas and art mediums that speak for themselves.
Karina Puente's work is available for purchase. Please contact the artist with inquiries. Thank you for loving art.
