Olivia Janna Genereaux's Abstract Works Channel Emotional Memory Through Gesture and Color
New Hampshire-based abstract artist Olivia Janna Genereaux explores emotional and tactile elements in her artwork. With a background from the Rhode Island School of Design and a master’s degree from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University, she began her artistic career selling painted scarves in Boston’s Faneuil Hall. An important transition occurred in 1990 in Santa Barbara when her piece "Cool Pool" signified her move towards abstraction. Currently, her exhibition titled "Eternal Spring" is featured at Gallery A.T. 108 in Chelsea, and she is also gearing up for upcoming art fairs, including Future Fair and Art Expo Chicago.
