Opening Reception time is TBD Anna Jensen's paintings are a synthesis of classical and abstract figuration. Her body of work is inspired by both trauma and exaltation. They are the fruit of years of rigorous research conducted in her home of the American South. With immense drive and rare sensitivity, Anna demonstrates the power of an individual to prevail through challenges via creative transfiguration. She is mostly self-taught yet has exhibited internationally to great acclaim over the past nearly twenty years. “My paintings are psychological landscapes and emotionally complex narratives. I combine references to art history, pop culture, natural science and personal chronicles to represent the conflicts of life. The titles are important elements. Like me the stories are at once funny and sad.” Her husband, highly acclaimed singer-songwriter Kevn Kinney, is most widely known as founder and frontman of Atlanta-based rock band Drivin N Cryin. He was recently inducted into both the Wisconsin Music Hall of Fame and Georgia Music Hall of Fame for his impactful legacy. Also, an accomplished poet, painter, and solo musician, Kinney has released multiple critically acclaimed recordings during his career having collaborated with R.E.M., Indigo Girls, the Who, and Warren Haynes among many others.

I’m not necessarily looking for a thing so much as I’m looking for a feeling — something that might tell a greater truth but in a very simple way.”
