Brienna Pruce "Brienna"

My name is Brienna (easy to remember if you think of "brie" like the cheese, though ironically I'm lactose intolerant). I'm a surreal painter. I come from rural Virginia, but I live in Cambridge, England now with my husband. I paint the human condition told through symbols.
My paintings can be construed as my subconscious "junk drawer" made visible. I pull from the deep recesses of the mind, where emotions are heightened and raw. It is here that I find an old conversation with a friend, an embarrassing mistake, a complex relationship, or a moment of pure happiness that I can channel into a painted narrative of human experiences. I use our animal and plant counterparts in our place to examine who we are and what it means to be alive more intimately.

  4. Her art reminds me of something you'd find in Alcie in Wonderland. That tree is amazing! :)
