Hi!

I’m Carolina, a Costa Rican–American artist living on the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina. I grew up in San José, Costa Rica, where my love for art began at age nine, inspired by my father. He painted as a hobby and often took us to local art shows, where weekends were spent talking with artists and discovering new ways to grow creatively. From those early experiences, I knew art would always be part of my life.

I later earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from the University of Costa Rica in 2007 and now work as a full-time artist.

Since moving to the Outer Banks in 2011, my work has evolved from vibrant urban scenes to paintings inspired by the coastal landscapes that surround me. Art is my happy place and my way of processing life, and I hope my work brings as much joy to others as it brings to me.

Thank you for stopping by!
