A native Georgian, Brenda received her BA Degree at Berry College.  After moving to Maryland, she was in charge of DuPont's Conference facility at Chesapeake Farms.  She retired from this position in 1998 in order to fulfill a long time desire to pursue art as a career. "The medium of watercolor is my first choice because I like the challenge.  The highlights of the subject are the white of the paper, therefore, I have to see those from the beginning and paint around them.  I learn something everytime I sit down to paint.  It is like starting a puzzle to which there are no right answers, you just have to go with your instincts and experience, and build on what you have learned from past paintings.  I love to travel to different countries and take reference photos.   Animals, flowers, sail boats, sunshine and fog are my favorite subjects at the moment.  Because of my paintings of large flowers, I often hear the comment that my work is reminiscent of Georgia O'Keefe.  I take that as a very large compliment."  Contact Brenda at the Gallery at 410-778-2425 or via email.
