Upcoming Exhibitions, Shows & Workshops


As a self-taught artist, I had big gaps in my drawing knowledge and skillset. Working with Bren has changed that. I’m now more confident and balanced in my approach to drawing with Charcoal, especially portraiture. Bren truly loves creating & teaching Art, and it shows in her teaching style, which is both kind and expressive. I look forward to learning even more from Bren.
