Karina is a photographer, artist, and graphic designer based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She received her Bachelor of Fine Art with a focus on Photography and an English minor from UW-Milwaukee. Family history, memory, nature, and her Scottish heritage have significantly influenced her work.

Karina serves on the Board of Directors for Guildess: A Contemporary Women’s Art Collective as Secretary and Online Director. She is also a member of Coalition of Photographic Arts (CoPA), Milwaukee Artist Resource Network (MARN), Wisconsin Scottish and St. Andrew’s Society of Milwaukee.

In addition, she works with Visual Image Photography (VIP), based in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, doing yearbook photography. Professionally, she concentrates on portraiture and event photography.

She has exhibited her fine art work at various shows in Milwaukee and Chicago. She’s had photographs published in Highlander Magazine, Shepherd Express, OnMilwaukee.com, and Riverwest Currents.

Any chance to steal away in her van to go camping, she seizes – with her camera, pen (ok, laptop) and a dog-eared book along for the adventure.
