Daydreaming in Color with Joanna Drakos | Reno News

Joanna Drakos, Reno’s new City Artist for 2026, invites you into her vibrant world of abstract expression with her debut show “The Audacity of Daydreaming.” Through luminous, emotionally charged canvases, she channels childhood displacement and the lingering echoes of feeling “broken” after moving from Greece to North Carolina. Her art—rooted in personal memory and playful geometry—explores the tension between control and surrender, where brushstrokes become portals to inner freedom. Don’t miss her current exhibit at the Metro Gallery through August 28th, plus upcoming appearances at the Reno Tahoe International Art Show and Depot Gallery solo show.
