WINTER 2023
Garden Variety
New Paintings by Mia Brownell
Opening reception Sunday December 4, 2022 1-3pm 
On view December 4, 2022, - January 20, 2023

The past few years have seen a global pandemic and significant, and on-going, political and environmental turmoil. Mia Brownell’s paintings reflect a longing for the ordinary with an understanding that ordinary may never have existed in the first place. In addition to her series Garden Variety, paintings that re-envision the genre of Still-Life images from both a macro (cultural) and microscopic (genetic) perspective, the artist will also debut a sub-series of paintings entitled Leda and Swan that respond to the erosion of women’s rights in American.
