Carina K.
2D / 3D Visual & Performance Arts, as well as Financial Literacy
New York City
- I took center stage for the first time at three years old and sold my first painting at five. As a visual artist, I don’t just paint—I build stories across mediums. From hand-painted decoupage books to ceramic arts, I love helping students explore both traditional and futuristic ways to express themselves in 2D and 3D.
- I once walked across every major NYC bridge in a single day—from the George Washington to the Brooklyn Bridge—as a creative act of devotion to my community philanthropy project, The Gift of Chess. A month later, we met with the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations and were awarded a Guinness World Record to support children in underserved communities across Africa. That same energy of commitment and imagination is what I bring to my art, performance, and teaching. Movement is meaning.
- Financial literacy is part of my art of living. I’ve helped families build generational wealth through my work in finance, and I love teaching young people how money can be a tool for empowerment—not stress. We break it down with creativity, confidence, and community values.
I’m Carina Nebula: a multidisciplinary teaching artist, educator, and financial wellness advocate. My work lives at the intersection of creativity, confidence, and community. Whether I’m guiding students through visual storytelling, performance art, gymnastics and martial arts, or financial literacy, I lead with joy, curiosity, and a deep belief that every young person has the power to shape their world. I’ve taught across galleries, schools, and global initiatives, and I’m passionate about creating spaces where imagination and empowerment go hand in hand.
