Artist Biography

Painter Cynthia Ona Innis works in spaces where opposites coexist. The new work continues her progression on personal themes of recollection and memory, gender and domesticity. Her combinations render and conceal a disrupted landscape where interior and exterior mesh.

The new paintings, using birdcages and a variety of birds, are on paper, canvas, and satin. The satin, treated to make the fabric matte, creates a skin like surface, renders the delicate fabric sturdy, and yet the satin retains a fragile and transparent feminine quality.

Cynthia Ona Innis received her MFA from Rutgers University in New Jersey.
