Karen’s art reflects her passion for wildlife, nature, and travel, combining mediums like Scratchboard and Pastel to create dramatic, detailed depictions of birds and animals. She often gathers inspiration from predator-free islands, using photography as the first step in her creative process. As a Master Member of the International Society for Scratchboard Artists, Karen combines her artistry with a commitment to conservation, donating a portion of her commissioned work to wildlife causes.

All members of Karori Sactuary Trust (Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne) are invited to the Zealandia Annual General Meeting and conversation with Helen Clark, moderated by Mark Sainsbury. 

During the warmer months, many lizard species become more active and visible, and summer is a great time of year to spot skinks basking in the sunshine and skittering across our path. In our next Conservation Kōrero, Dr Christopher Woolley will introduce us to the lizards seen around Wellington and discuss the challenges of conserving this often-overlooked fauna.

Looking for a wilder way to start your day? Join us for Zealandia's Wild Awake breakfast 'netwalking' session. Lightly hosted by a Zealandia guide, this ‘walk and talk’ is for anyone looking for a dose of inspiration and connection on a weekday morning. Wake your mind up with birdsong and find fresh perspectives on your challenges amongst our beautiful trees.

Find peace and tranquillity in our Sanctuary Yoga sessions this summer.
