Mia Brownell: Garden Variety at MAPSpace

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. Special thanks to MAPSpace, Arts Westchester, New York State Council on the Arts, and Southern Connecticut State University. This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature and administered by ArtsWestchester.
