Level Up Series - Playing It Safe vs. Taking Risks

In this episode of Coffee With Karina, Karina reflects on revisiting a painting she created 25 years ago and how giving it a fresh, brighter update mirrors her own personal growth and accomplishments over the years. She opens up about the tendency many artists—and even non-artists—have to play it safe, and how stepping out of that comfort zone can transform both art and life. Karina also shares the profound inspiration she felt while visiting Monet’s house and gardens in France, describing how the beauty of that experience reminded her of the power of environment and perspective in sparking creativity. Through her story, she encourages listeners to embrace risks, seek out inspiration, and surprise themselves with what they can create.
