Turning from a Fixed Direction
Lita Kenyon
June 2 - June 19, 2026
Reception: June 5, 5-7pm

Strata Gallery presents Established Member solo exhibition, Turning from a Fixed Direction, by Lita Kenyon. The exhibition opens June 2nd, with a special reception on June 5, from 5-7pm. The exhibition will be on view from June 2 through June 19.

Lita Kenyon’s work explores abstraction’s ability to evoke balance and tension without relying on narrative. Kenyon avoids specific references, allowing meaning to emerge organically as images blend and shift within fields of color and gestural marks. Inspiration comes from nonobjective forms as they emerge in the composition. Kenyon’s process is guided by intuition-driven methods, where each piece begins with a gesture and evolves through scraping, repainting, and layering.

Lita Kenyon received her MA in Fine Art from Northern Illinois University. Her work has been exhibited in Seattle, Washington; San Francisco, California; Santa Fe, New Mexico; Portland, OR, and Columbia, MO. This is her first solo show in New Mexico.

Strata Gallery is open from 11 am to 5 pm Tuesday – Saturday. For more information about Strata Gallery, the current exhibit, and the future schedule of events, please visit the Strata Gallery website and Instagram.
