BAK’s Founder and Chief Creative Officer, Gabrielle Senza is an internationally recognized Berkshire-based artist whose work is included in the collections of institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, MoMA New York, Lifetime Entertainment, JP Morgan Chase and Fidelity Investments, among others.  Gabrielle Senza’s industrial and bucolic landscapes, abstract paintings and installations have been exhibited in solo and traveling group shows throughout the U.S. and abroad.

The range of work exhibited over the last two decades exemplifies the broad talent, creative energy and skilled hand of this highly acclaimed self-taught artist.

“What I love about looking over the various bodies of work from the past is seeing how painting, mark-making and drawing all converge, mapping out the ebb and flow of this arduous journey towards light, called Life” says Senza. “The terrain I explore through my work is guided by intuition, deep listening and the connection to the emotional charge of a place – be it internal or external. The process aids in guiding my personal journey and surviving the terrifying past,” she added.
