Karenza Jackson's Exhibitions
Showing Work in East Anglia
Karenza Jackson has been exhibiting her work across East Anglia since 2005, taking part in a wide range of group and solo exhibitions throughout the region. These exhibitions offer an opportunity to see the work in person and experience it at scale, with colour, texture, and surface best appreciated off the screen.
Alongside gallery and group shows, Karenza particularly enjoys hosting Open Studios in her converted barn studio in Suffolk. These events offer a more informal setting to view recent work, explore works in progress, and talk directly with the artist about process, inspiration, and materials.
Open Studio Events & Upcoming Exhibitions
Open Studios are held at selected times throughout the year and provide a chance to visit the studio, see new and ongoing work, and enjoy the setting of the Suffolk countryside. This page is updated regularly, so please check back for the latest information.
More to come in 2026!
Exhibiting at Your Gallery
Karenza is always happy to hear from galleries and arts spaces who feel a connection with the work and are interested in exhibiting it. She enjoys showing work in a range of settings, from established galleries to community-led spaces.
If you’d like to talk about a possible exhibition, private view, or future opportunity, please feel free to get in touch. An initial conversation is often the easiest place to start, and Karenza is glad to share further information or discuss how the work might sit within your space.
