Karla Wozniak

Karla Wozniak is a Bay Area-based artist. Her recent paintings explore the ways in which her experience of place has been altered by the pandemic and recent California wildfires. They reflect a new reality where work and school collide in our homes’ previously personal space. The paintings spring from an intuitive drawing practice, in which each night she records memory fragments and a personal symbology.

Wozniak received her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA from the Yale School of Art. She has shown internationally, with solo shows at such venues as the Schneider Museum in Ashland, Oregon, and the Gregory Lind Gallery in San Francisco. Wozniak has received a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship and was a SECA Finalist at the SF MOMA. She has participated in the Bronx Museum Artist in the Marketplace program; the Marie Walsh Sharpe Space Program; and received two MacDowell Colony fellowships. Her work has been featured in a number of publications, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, San Francisco Chronicle, Houston Chronicle, Village Voice, and The Huffington Post, among others. Her work is included in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the Knoxville Museum of Art permanent collections. Wozniak is an Associate Professor at California College of the Arts.
