Serena Weits

Serena Weits is a multi-disciplinary artist from the Detroit, Michigan area. She graduated from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Alongside her practice as a fine artist, Serena has spent the last 27 years as a professional Photo Stylist. Using her skills in painting, composition and attention to details, to bring editorial and commercial photoshoots to life. After many years working and showing artwork in Chicago, Serena and her family arrived in Milwaukee in 2010. Subsequently she has been exhibiting work in the Milwaukee area since then. 

Serena is known for her meticulous paintings, collages and installations. Her interests lie in the constellations of inter-connected human relationships as well as those between our fellow flora and fauna here on Earth. The human world is self-absorbed. The natural world continues in its cycles whether it is in our human consciousness or not. Can art help understand any of these complexities? She continues to work as if the world cares. Serena uses a variety of different media from traditional art-making supplies to old illustrations and found objects. Her works whether a small collage/painting or a larger installation are filled with tiny details. These details become lovely visual components as well as symbolic threads representing the seen and unseen bonds that tie us all together.
