Karina lives and work in the San Francisco Bay Area. She was a refugee from Latvia to the United States at the age of thirteen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She focuses on public monuments that are both impactful, beautiful and accessible to the public. Karina\u2019s approach for designing monuments for public art is to create a holistic experience for the public, to create the sculpture, lighting and landscaping within a fitting architectural composition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her childhood years were spent in Riga, Latvia, which is beautiful and historical architectural gem of a city. As a child Karina was always drawing and dreaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"575\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/karinafurhman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/karina_furhman_stephen_perkins-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/karinafurhman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/karina_furhman_stephen_perkins-1.jpg 575w, https:\/\/karinafurhman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/karina_furhman_stephen_perkins-1-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><figcaption>San Francisco &#8211; Stephen Perkins and his Ecorche crew!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Karina studied with <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stephenperkinsart.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stephen Perkins <\/a>for over 10 years, subjects such as ecorche, figure modeling, figure structure, history of sculpture, drawing and design.
