Collection The New Normal from Kathy Kenny Art

The New Normal

The New Normal is a series of ten abstract paintings created in January, February, and March of 2026 during a major transition in my life.

These works came out of a period of grief, change, uncertainty, and adjustment. Painting helped me process emotions that were often hard to put into words. Some pieces feel tense or unsettled, while others reflect moments of balance, energy, and forward movement.

Working intuitively with acrylic and mixed media, I used color, texture, layering, and mark-making to respond honestly to what I was experiencing at the time. Together, the paintings document a personal transition and the gradual process of finding my footing in a new normal.
