The artist

Art for the joy of it

Carina with paint-covered hands

I'm Carina — a self-taught artist who turned a love of painting into a way of inspiring others. I've never trained formally, and that's the point: for me, art is about personal freedom, self-expression, and the simple joy of creating. What began as a hobby grew into Paint with Carina, a space where anyone is welcome to discover their own creativity, no experience required.

Events that bring people together

My most popular event is Sip & Paint – Paint with a Glass of Wine, where guests relax, socialise, and explore their artistic side in a warm, easy-going atmosphere. Like my paintings, these evenings are made to be approachable and fun — whatever your skill level.

Original artwork

I also create original oil and acrylic paintings on canvas. Each piece is made with genuine enthusiasm and a deep love for the process — my way of sharing a sense of freedom and colour with the people who bring my work into their homes.

My mission

To make art feel joyful and liberating — not just an activity, but an experience that brings people together. Whether you're looking for a unique canvas or a night of creativity with friends, there's a place for you at Paint with Carina.
