Welcome to the Altbays Show (Feat. Leo Magri)
ALTBAYS Show invites awesome people to have an honest, laid-back conversation. Our platform focuses on bringing communities together to grow and thrive.
With a background in photography that began in high school in Wellington, Karen loves what she does, recently having five acceptances in the IAAP World Cup (International Association of Art Photographers) and seven acceptances in the Irish Emerald Salon, one of those being a Bronze Medal for the stunning 'Matariki Wahine'.
Beyond her photography work, Karen keeps busy with contracts for Creative Coromandel and Diving New Zealand, where she provides board support and marketing/communications expertise. She has also been deeply involved in sports, competing in multi-sport events focusing on kayaking and later transitioning to competitive archery. As a former board member of Archery NZ, she managed teams for international competitions and organized tournaments in Whitianga.
While not an experienced diver, Karen has always enjoyed watching the sport, particularly high diving, through the Red Bull Cliff Diving Series, which is set to come to New Zealand in 2023. Additionally, she indulges in her love for fishing, spending weekends on the water.
Karen served on the Photographic Society of NZ Council for two years, organizing photography workshops nationwide. She is currently working on several photographic projects, including a Mother & Daughter project, a Grief project, and a photography competition exclusively for the youth of the Coromandel.
Tune in to the Altbays Show as Karen shares her experiences, passions, and insights and chats about the arts and sports in Aotearoa NZ.
