Kenosis Story

Hi, I’m Carené. My journey with art began in a treehouse on a farm, where nature shaped how I see the world. From a young age, a crayon became more than just a tool-it helped me navigate life’s challenges and express what words couldn’t.
In high school, art became my way of pushing through the growing pains of life. After school, I earned my BA in Fine Art and in 2008, I joined the Kenosis School of Art. What began as a simple interview turned into a life-changing opportunity-by the age of 22, I was running my own art studio.
Art is my voice, and I believe it can be yours too. I’m passionate about helping others discover how creativity can be a powerful tool for healing, growth, and self-expression.
