Garner Narrative presents a show of new works by Joyce Garner, "I just continue to paint."

Central to the show is a new mural which hangs at 7 x 16', titled 2022. Two Niki de Saint Phalle Nana figures preside over living and dying.

Of this show, Garner says "I wore myself out painting it [2022]. There is too much going on. The flood waters are rising, maybe we're going to be hit by a train again—it's the human condition. I can't even look at it [the mural]. I started doing smaller landscapes, color and patterning, just to get away from it. So those paintings are in the show too. They belong there."
