ARTIST BIO

Queena Hernandez is an artist living and working in San Francisco, where she earned her MFA degree in painting at California College of the Arts. Inspirations for her watercolor pieces are particularly culled from ink and wash paintings, Japanese woodblock prints, and modern landscape design.

Exploring the idea of the unknown and the mythologies one creates in response, her work seeks to communicate an imagined world in a state of physical interruption. Drawing inspiration from natural disasters, 16th century explorers’ journals, science fiction, and the supernatural, she is interested in addressing issues regarding unexplained weather phenomena, the authority of nature, vulnerability of mankind, and humanity’s transition into a frighteningly unpredictable future.
