About Karina

Karina Stephens is an Australian mixed-media artist whose work is shaped by the rainforest she calls home. From her sandstone studio in Buderim, she gathers natural materials—crushed quartz, teabag fibres, inks, pigments, and sandstone dust from the land itself—to create deeply textured, earth-led artworks that feel both ancient and modern.

A qualified Energy Medicine Practitioner, Karina brings her lifelong study of energy, frequency, and the healing qualities of nature into every piece she creates. Before the first layer touches the canvas, each artwork is blessed with intention, grounding, and quiet prayer. Her process is slow, sensory, and reverent—an intimate collaboration with the land, the elements, and the stories they hold.

Her paintings are created to shift the atmosphere of a space: to soften, to steady, to invite calm. Each piece carries the essence of the rainforest—its stillness, its resilience, its sacred beauty—and becomes an anchor of peace within the home.

Through her YouTube channel, Karina shares her art, her rituals, and her gentle way of living, inspiring others to embrace beauty, nature, and the quiet magic woven into everyday life.

Karina’s art is created to bring the grounding beauty of nature into the heart of your home. Each piece is inspired by the sandstone, rainforest textures, and gentle light surrounding her studio in Buderim, capturing the quiet poetry of the land in layered, tactile form.

Her work is intentionally designed to transform a space—not just visually, but energetically. Through natural materials, hand-crafted textures, and the infusion of prayer and intention, every artwork holds a subtle atmospheric shift. These pieces bring calm, warmth, and a sense of soulful connection to the spaces they inhabit.

Karina offers a curated collection of original paintings and fine art prints, allowing you to experience the depth of her work in a way that suits your home. Her prints provide an accessible way to enjoy large, statement pieces that carry the energy of the original—perfect for creating rooms that feel serene, inspired, and beautifully anchored.

Whether you’re drawn to the earthy stillness of her abstracts or the storytelling woven into her mixed-media layers, each artwork invites you into the world of The Sandstone House in the Rainforest—a world where nature, artistry, and intention meet.

If you’re searching for art that transforms your space and elevates your everyday environment, you’re in exactly the right place.

Caring for animals has always been close to my heart. Living gently on the land has deepened my reverence for all living beings, and my creative work is inseparable from my belief that kindness should extend beyond the canvas and into the world we share.

I am proud to support Animals Australia, an organisation dedicated to protecting animals through advocacy, education, and meaningful change. Their work aligns deeply with my values of compassion, stewardship, and respect for life.

A percentage of profits from every artwork and item sold is donated to Animals Australia, allowing each piece to contribute not only to the beauty of a home, but also to the wellbeing of animals in need.

When you choose a piece from The Sandstone House in the Rainforest, you are helping support a kinder, more compassionate world—for people, animals, and the land we all belong to.
