Brenda York
As far back as I can remember, I have drawn and painted faces but recently, I've been more interested in deconstructing the architecture of the face to see how far I can abstract it and still capture the intangible human qualities. I am drawn to rich, vibrant color and a whimsical, narrative approach to painting. My characters are quirky people painted with a sense of sophistication. The backgrounds of my paintings are typically thick, saturated pigment applied with a palette knife. I then draw back into the paint with symbols and words adding a linear and textural quality to the surface. I recently started Smart Works that offers business services for career artists and helping artists with the stuff they don’t want to do. You know, everything on the 'business side' of being an artist. I've been selling my art online and in galleries since 2007. I also teach classes on everything related to marketing and selling your art. Let me help you whip your creative business into shape and get your art career on track!
