About Artwork: At the start of the new year, the celebrations over, dry trees are put to curb where a man collects them and hauls them out to the salt flats. There friends and family gather to set them alight along with wishes to discard that which no longer serves them.

About Artist: Serena Potter is recognized for her figurative narrative oil paintings, which blend vivid colors inspired by golden-age American illustrators like Norman Rockwell and J.C. Leyendecker with wry, sometimes ironic storytelling. Her subjects are often placed in whimsical or unexpected situations, balancing contemporary and vintage elements to reflect the fleeting nature of time and the lasting influence of early experiences. Recurring motifs, such as eggs, symbolize the delicate yet resilient aspects of what women nurture and protect. Deeply personal, Potter's work draws from her own life challenges and those of her friends and family, aiming to evoke emotion and curiosity in viewers. She seeks to create art that invites connection, prompts questions, and encourages audiences to discover their own narratives within her work.
