Charlene Johnson is an Edmonton-based Canadian visual artist whose painting practice explores belonging, identity, and emotional connection through portraiture, abstraction, and landscape. Working across these interconnected forms, she creates paintings that examine the relationship between people, place, and the stories we carry, inviting moments of reflection, recognition, and quiet contemplation.

As a Nigerian-born, Canadian-raised, only daughter of 4, this exhibition works to capture Chidera Uzoka’s journey of rediscovering her Nigerian roots. Many of the pieces are not only a celebration of the culture that she is slowly uncovering, but it is a juxtaposition of her experiences here versus her cultural heritage back home.
The exhibition will create a welcoming space for all attendees to enjoy and engage with the community. It will feature performances from other artists, interactive activities, as well as Nigerian cuisine!
