Welcome to the Karina Jean Blog.
WHO AM I? I’ve always been a creative sort. At ten I was fashioning wind chimes from old cutlery, marbles & twine, while selling home-baked apple pies to neighbors to fund my crafty pursuits. We lived in country Victoria, Australia, on the windy south west coast and I was definitely a tom boy. I climbed trees like a squirrel, I paid homage to power tools and I understood an extra special drill bit was needed for making holes in those forks marked ’stainless steel’. My weekends were spent reassessing my choice of cubbyhouse tree and making mischief with my animal friends.
These days I work my magic from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, with my surfer-boy fiancée, my baby boy Jonah and our dog called Cruz. My work is influenced by many things. I love the play between man and beast, the influence of pop culture on broader society and the warm fuzzy’s created by nostalgia. I blend all the things that bring me joy into objects and items for others to enjoy.
