Brenda is a Pacific Northwest–based artist whose work is inspired by the region’s temperate landscapes, atmosphere, history, and people.

Exploring a range of subjects and mediums, she creates paintings that carry an excavated, emotional quality—layered surfaces that reflect a life deeply observed and fully lived.

Working primarily in oil and cold wax, Brenda embraces the freedom to layer, carve, and reveal what lies beneath the surface. This process gives each piece a sense of depth and timelessness, grounded in rich texture and a vibrant, tactile energy.
