Garner's favored theme is the fragility of identity and belonging--
that which makes social life possible. Her work explores gender,
place, continuity and discontinuity of self, marginality, public/private--
the refusal of (self) alienation. Garner paints saturated, symbolic narratives.
Garner currently resides in Abu Dhabi, UAE. See paintings about this
here and
here.
Please see works done in and about Lahore, Pakistan here.
For a longer if somewhat dated interview by Amie Gillingham about past process
and influences, go here.
Garner's mother, Joyce Garner, is an enormous influence and inspiration.
Please see Joyce Garner's work here, and learn more about Joyce (and Angie Reed!) here.
Last but not least, in 2011 Joyce and Angie Reed opened a gallery devoted to narrative art,
in Louisville Kentucky USA.
