It is a glimpse into my creative journey that has led to the current process of 3 dimensional mixed media sculpture.”

You, the viewer will see the influences of artists such as Picasso and Jean-Michael Basquait in some of my paintings throughout the years. I have also been strongly inspired by the events in our world as a whole, as well as the community and environment of the places I have called home. I have included works that take on my view of tragedy, loss, love, war, and the sheer beauty of the natural world around us.”

“As an artist, I continue to grow and expand my vocabulary. Not through words but through paint, canvas, wood, and objects cast off from society. I look to nurture the creative parts of myself to become a greater artist and member of the world community as a whole. I want to be greater than the sum of my parts and share my inward significances.”

USCB gallery exhibit is free and open to the public Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and during scheduled performances. For more information on the exhibition, contact Wendy Brennan by email at artisttreestudio@hotmail.com or by phone at 843-592-1849.
