Sarena Johnson: A Love Song

TICKET PRICES
FREE

Now-August 18

The Connecticut based artist, Sarena Johnson sees her body of work as an act of resistance in a patriarchal world.

Her paintings depict a femininity as something familiar, intimate, full of laughter, joy, and harmony. Her palette, at times evocative of an old black and white snapshot, at other times saturated with color, captures something nostalgic and comforting, or vibrant and alive. She has created a mythology of sorts, introducing classical as well as natural figures and symbols alongside the female form. She has dedicated these works to the radical women in her life.

Artist Bio: Sarena Johnson, is an Oil Painter with a concentration in figure painting. She graduated from The University of the Arts with her BFA in 2018. She received her MFA from The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 2020.
