KARENA DE PONT
Painting & Sculpture
Artist Bio:
Karena de Pont (nee McGreal) is a visual storyteller with a deep, pure, and unquenchable appetite for artistic self-expression. Her work is an assemblage of different expressions from abstract acrylic paintings through to contemporary oil paintings, to sculpture, and more; whatever works best to bring her vision to life. Whatever the medium used, colour, texture, and the interplay of light are always a consideration in her work.
Through her art practice, Karena questions ideas relating to our personal story, the events, the music, or the places that shape our lives.
Karena is based in Mahurangi West, north of Auckland, New Zealand. For all enquiries regarding her art practice, work, or commissions, please contact her directly.
