Where: Novel, Portland
When: April 1-April 30, 2025
This show features a broad range of Joyanna’s work including a darker series of paintings with black painted edges. “Mac & Cheese” is an older work painted during the process and processing of divorce. “Window Box” was painted in the middle of winter, an imagining of an easy, fertile world outside walls vibrating with color and beautiful imperfections. “Black Cat” is her beloved Caper (RIP) seated atop her teal piano. “Infernal Tremble” pictorializes the frustration of anxiety that builds, threatening to consume, at the most inconvenient times.
Many Thanks to Novel for this wonderful opportunity, and for their support of the arts! Novel is Portland Maine’s hip new coffee, books & booze spot with a sweet event lineup. Check out their Instagram!
