Mark your calendars! Opening on Saturday, August 2, 'Sequestered Shadows' is a poignant solo exhibition by Milwaukee-based emerging artist Kimberly Burnett, featuring 35 richly layered oil paintings that explore memory, isolation, and the emotional resonance of domestic space.
Burnett’s introspective works—often centered around solitary figures in intimate interiors—portray moments of stillness and subtle motion, exploring the tension between personal identity and domestic expectations. Her works transform everyday spaces into quiet stages of psychological complexity—places to hide, to watch, to endure. Each canvas hums with the weight of the unseen and the unspoken—doorways cracked open, windows offering unreachable light, and figures tethered to their surroundings by duty and longing.
A self-taught contemporary artist and illustrator residing in Milwaukee, WI, Kimberly Burnett is known for her style of “fractured realism.” The artist's love of the Old Masters is revealed in her work, as is strong classical influence and the beauty of nature.
A free artist reception is scheduled for Friday, August 1, 2025, from 5 – 7 pm to celebrate the opening of the exhibition. Light refreshments will be served and live music will be provided by Craig Schultz. The event is free and open to the public.
