Nena Zanos is a German-Australian printmaker and textile artist. She grew up in Germany and came to Australia as a young adult. Nena is interested in the intersection of nature, science and culture.

Living in Australia, particularly in remote areas, has intensified her curiosity and concern for the environment. Human interaction with the environment is often portrayed on a superficial level. In her work, Nena attempts to expose a deeper level and likes to engage in the challenge of making the invisible visible.

Nena lives in a small community by the sea near Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia.
