My name´s Karina Querejeta and I´m 46 years old. I was brought up in San Martín de los Andes and moved to Buenos Aires to study Business Administration when I was 18. I persevered for three years although I didn´t like it because I believed that if I did I might one day feel passionate about it. I never did, so I returned to San Martín feeling empty inside as I didn´t just want to be a housewife… I was longing to find what I really liked.

It wasn´t until one day, while I was gardening, imagining each space aesthetically, that I realised what I liked the most and decided to pursue Landscaping in Buenos Aires. Travelling and studying was a real challenge because I already had two daughters, but I managed to complete the two-year career and graduated in 2008. Since then, even though my drawing board was practically new, I started working and never stopped.
Landscaping gradually integrated with my other interests, like painting and reading, which have become an essential complement to achieve my identity in everything I undertake

Her collection consisted of 8 exclusive handbags, using the original canvas painted by Karina, and in this case combined with leather.

Two colour palettes were used, a cool one with deep blues and a warm one, with a focus on ochre.
