"The purpose of art in all its forms is to make life real, to remove everything that gets in the way, and to help us live". By Mark Nepo
Welcome
My name is Karina Hatcher
I’m an Argentine-American multi-disciplinary artist with a background in Fine Arts, Creative Writing, Expressive Arts Therapies, and Mindful movement.
Working in the film industry helped hone my storytelling skills, which inspire and are the core of everything I do: my visual art pieces, the short stories I write, my community work through the healing arts and literacy advocacy.
The arts empower us because they heal, they help us connect with strength, compassion, and dignity. Through my artwork and programs, my dream is to inspire people to protect and embrace our common humanity, recreating narratives: one memory, one story at a time.
New workshop starting on May 2024
Mindful Photography
In this introductory workshop, you will learn
the basics of mindful seeing through an
evidence-based model that integrates
photography, movement, and
connection to nature.
​
Through the completion of a simple series of exercises,
you will be able to use your camera to earn new perspectives and to reflect and create
kindness and compassion for yourself and others.
​
Just get on your comfy clothes,
grab your camera or smartphone and a journal,
and add new perspectives to your daily life.
