Karen Covic

Karen moved to Auckland from Brighton, England 10 years ago. Before leaving UK, she attended London’s Slade School of Art summer school and has been serious about painting ever since. After four years at Browne School of Art, she had a year of mentoring by Simon McIntyre. Her work is gestural, expressive and confrontingly colourful. Her themes are concerned with emotional landscapes; the tussle between freedom and control and that of laying down memory. Drawing on myriad sources she approaches each canvas as an arena in which to act these things out. Influences: female American Expressionist.
