“Every artist dips her brush into her soul,
and paints her hidden places forward.”
My expression comes from my intuition, my ability to feel energy and easily access the soul. I blend the tangible with the intangible. I am a channel for higher expression, healing and awakening energies. I engage with the energy that is present at the moment of creation, allowing it to unfold organically, and move through my senses. My passion is the search for truth, the energetic pull of beauty, the soul made visible. I am mostly self-taught. I’ve taken some workshops here and there. To me, self-taught is following the feminine path of fluid creativity. Painting is how I come back to myself, over and over again. It’s how I heal. It’s how I touch my soul. All my paintings are infused with the same energy that flows through me for healing.

“An artist paints, dances, draws, writes, designs, or acts at the expanding
edge of consciousness. We press into the unknown rather than the known.
This makes life lovely and lively.”
- Julia Cameron
“About one year ago I was perusing Brenda’s studio looking at her artwork. As I looked around the room I was thinking how could I ever choose they’re all so beautiful. Just as that thought crossed my mind one of them pretty much reached out and grabbed me. I couldn’t look away or see any others after that. I said Brenda what the heck, your painting put a spell on me, it’s not really my decision! She laughed and said that it was one of my favorites but it’s not quite done. She needed to make a few changes according to my energy and what came forward to her with me in mind. It’s not a painting that I could put in my office or my bedroom… It needed to be in a wide open area where I could see it and it could see me, and everyone who comes through my home. When I look at it I feel like they are watchers, in a loving angelic/alien type of way. I find myself gazing at it often. It is mystical and protective, it feels alive.”
