Hand-Painted Island Bloom Linen Shirt by Karisa in Auckland

I’m an 18-year-old Auckland-based artist with a multicultural mix of Samoan, Chinese, German, Dutch, and English roots. Having travelled to many countries, I draw inspiration from different cultures, places, and perspectives, which means my art doesn’t live in just one box or style. I enjoy exploring creativity across different mediums. I’ve painted canvases, created basic home murals, painted clothing, and designed and cut my own stencils which I’ve used for screen printing onto eco-friendly tea towels. I’ve also designed stencils and spray painted tote bags, to name a few projects. I thrive on creative challenges and love experimenting, learning, and pushing ideas further, which is what led me to join Book an Artist. If you have an idea, a vision, or want to collaborate, get in touch, I’d love to hear from you.
