About Seanna
Born in Texas, I have been a Baltimore resident for more than twenty years. I was trained as an art historian, but am a self taught artist. I work in series and multiples, and view all of my pieces as something like pages from a book. I have a number of ongoing projects, more than I have indicated here.

Moony mothers
Images of the moon as a woman, drawing on received folk art and commercial images. Underlying the series is the idea that the mother's face is the infant's world, and the disturbingly reflective nature of mother and daughter.

Devil figures
These images all use a base form of a triangle and circle derived from a male mask from the Ivory Coast to explore the impulses of the body, the animal part of being human, the experience of inhabiting a body that sometimes feels alien or overly abundant.

Imaginary botany
These acrylic and ink works on paper are vegetable portraits or portraits of human types and relationships in vegetable form. At play here are the porousity of skin, the nutrients and dangers of the soil, and the visible and invisible. Their coloration does not include the greens of our world's foliage, but the warm, dark and shiny tones of caves, mines and viscera.
