Serena Hazard is a painter. She writes of her work: “Each of my paintings begins as a journey into the unknown of holy freedom. I travel through layers--painting, scratching, rubbing out, sanding back, and then adding more. In this cycle, hints of the previous layers remain, building its history. Eventually, an inner light emanates from the landscape. Within the landscape there are forms and shapes alive with their own inner light: they float and drift off...emerge and dissipate...fall and land. In subsequent layers, some shapes fade, and some become more articulated. The finished piece tells an open-ended story, engaging participation. It is not foretold but rather invites the viewer to wander in their own imagination and delight. The painter serves as the messenger.”

Hazard’s work has been exhibited in California and Maine. She has worked as a textile designer, product designer, builder, color consultant, Feldenkrais Practitioner, and art teacher.

Hazard lives and works in Sonoma County, California and Small Point, Maine.
