Often times the things that appear simple take the most care to create, from architecture to artwork.

Sara Genn's work above the sofa reads as effortlessly minimal, and like the house itself, that simplicity is the result of considerable process.

Fall Exhibitions at SITE SANTA FE 🍁

Sara Genn: How to Build a Sky
October 16, 2026–February 14, 2027
at SITE SANTA FE

Sara Genn’s latest multi-panel paintings of geometric abstraction demonstrate her ability to find endless variation in subtle distinctions of color, shape, and texture. In the courtyard of Wallerstein Family Terrace, a newly commissioned mural—the artist’s first—features crisp lines that are made entirely by hand with an approach that Genn calls “a defiant softness.”

Sara Genn (b. 1972) @saragenn is a Canadian-born visual artist who works between Brooklyn, NY and Palm Springs, CA. Mentored by her father, a plein-air landscape painter, Genn’s work focuses on the nuances of how color is perceived and organized. She also references principles of her Japanese heritage through the aesthetic of wabi-sabi.

Her work has been featured in publications such as The New York Times, Architectural Digest, and NYLON Japan, and can be found in public collections such as the Palm Springs Art Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. She has been painting and exhibiting continuously since 1991.
