Meet the Artist

The expression of pure wonder as they look into the mirror... That is the moment I paint for.

That is the driving force behind my art.

Hi! My name is Karina and I'm the artist behind Painterina Face Painting. Thanks for checking us out!

​

My face painting journey began as a teen working at a school fundraiser. With only a few colors of dollar store paint, some brushes, and a whole lot of improvising, I painted, And painted. And volunteered the next year, and the one after that.

​

It was love at first sight!

Over ten years later, I started my little business in Okinawa. With my past employment in child-centric roles and my penchant for the arts, I've developed my craft into my profession.

Thanks to the trust and support of patrons such as yourself, I have been fortunate. I've shared my passion across hundreds of faces, dozens of venues, and have plans for so much more! From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
