Karin was raised by two quite spirited and devoted sailors near the Baltic Sea along with her three older brothers. The love of the water has been firmly embedded during these childhood years.
Having studied, worked, traveled, and lived in a range of countries, Karin gained heaps of personal depth and a broad range of experiences as a visual artist.
