Karina Woldt is a contemporary  ocean and abstract landscape artist with over 40 years experience in fine art.

She now works from her studio in the rolling hills of the Scottish borders, a landscape often depicted in her   contemporary landscapes and seascapes. She specialises in soulful energy art  which capture  the mountains, lakes and  other landscapes  of Scotland with  her unique  textured semi-abstracted style.  Her art is known for  transmitting a calmness and emotional depth, which stem from her experience working also many years as a trauma expert,  psychologist and mindfulness teacher.  " I create  my best work, when I am in a calm mindful flow and that energy often gets transferred onto the canvass  when   paint - a process that  gives me so much nourishment and energy.   I want the viewer to be filled with the same  peacefulness I feel when  I paint. My  main aim is  create healing  art which create  a sense of  resilience and hope. Thus, my landscape paintings often have a deeper  more embodied meaning which is appreciated by my art collectors. I often capture  divine light that of sun breaking through clouds  instance as  this can make as feel more connected to a larger power and this feel more at ease due to its ability to reignite our inner energy spark.  My inspirations comes from walking  and exploring the surrounding hills of the Scottish highlands and the.  I am also very keen to capture that  relaxing movement of the  ocean waves one of my main explored  themes in my current seascapes."   Her art evokes both strong feelings a sense of soulful connected-ness  to her audience. It also adds a beautiful colorful  stunning focal point in any luxury home whether its a reception room, office or a lush bedroom.

"I love capturing  a sense of calm or the sense of flow found in the ocean especially its constant sense of movement and flow when the waves roll in. The nourishment and sense of being in the moment  and we gain from being in nature is at the core of my contemporary art work. My life has been very challenging one, thus my other passion is therapy and healing. My art and spiritual journey has been heavily interwoven with my interest and experience of mindfulness and Taoism. For example nature teaches us this sense of going with the flow, that things always change and are constantly shifting. In our  darkest moments that truth can give a lot of hope and energy.

If you learn to be in the flow it is the best space to be for your inner well-being but also for creating art."

Through the years of following various teachers she has honed her unique blend of mixed media art style with varied themes of landscape and figurative often soulful art. Karina loves capturing the beauty of nature and evoking a sense  calm  peacefulness found with nature and its energy, which can often be perceived as deeply nurturing for her audience. Karina is known for using vivid colors, creating a sense of depth with textures and mixed  media, which tends  to  highlight movement or transcending light. Her artwork has been heavily influenced by impressionism, the  transcending light found in Turner's masterpieces and also  making use of mixed media techniques seen in abstract contemporary artists such as Maria Synthelis.
