About the Exhibition
The Gallery at Yellow Studio presents Scent of the Sea / Profumo del Mare, a vibrant collection of paintings and photographs that transports viewers to the sun-drenched coastlines of Italy’s Amalfi Coast. Running from October 18 to November 15, 2025, this evocative exhibition presents artist Jennie Carr’s comprehensive love letter to Italy through three distinct artistic approaches: candid street photography, abstract works on maps and architectural drawings, and pop art-inspired paintings that celebrate Italian everyday life.

Scent of the Sea / Profumo del Mare showcases Carr’s ability to find magic in both the monumental and the mundane. Working from her Ridgefield studio, Cloud Farm Industries, she transforms everyday Italian experiences into vibrant celebrations of color and memory. Her unique approach of painting on found materials creates a dialogue between the structured and the spontaneous, much like Italy itself. The exhibition invites viewers to breathe in the profumo del mare and experience Italy through Carr’s optimistic lens, where quiet street corners hold as much beauty as dramatic coastlines, and the comfort of familiar rituals becomes art worthy of celebration.

 

About the Artist

Jennie Carr creates vibrant acrylic paintings and photography, celebrating color, light, and social commentary through abstract, pop-inspired, and figurative styles. Born in New York City and raised in Scarsdale, New York, she studied acting in several programs while cultivating her visual art practice as a largely self-taught artist. Carr transitioned to full-time art-making in 2021, founding Cloud Farm Industries in North Salem, New York, and currently works from Ridgefield, Connecticut.

Establishing herself as an actively exhibiting professional artist, she has recently presented solo exhibitions at Spy Pond Art Gallery, Newcastle, Ireland (2023); The Kitchen Table, Pound Ridge (2024–2025); and Ridgefield Guild of Artists satellite gallery at Jill Rae Designs, Ridgefield (2025). As a member of the Carriage Barn Arts Center and the Ridgefield Guild of Artists, she explores themes of social justice and humor, most notably in her Equality Pin Up Girls series featured in Ms. Magazine. Her paintings and photographs are held in private collections across the United States and Ireland.

Please RSVP to the Artist Talk below. All are welcome.
