Sequestered Shadows

The Miller Art Museum is proud to present Sequestered Shadows, a solo exhibition by Milwaukee-based artist Kimberly Burnett. Through 35 intimate oil paintings, Burnett transforms quiet, domestic interiors into poetic meditations on memory, solitude, and personal identity. Rooted in her rural North Carolina upbringing, her work captures figures—often herself or her family—suspended in private moments of stillness and emotional gravity. These compositions hum with unspoken tension, offering a glimpse into lives shaped as much by absence as by presence.
