Auckland based, New Zealand landscape artist whose work is inspired by memory, emotion, and an intuitive connection to the land.
Rather than painting directly from a scene, Brenda draws from remembered moments, impressions, and the feeling a landscape leaves behind, creating works that are expressive and atmospheric.
Unrestricted in her use of colour, Brenda’s paintings move between vivid, energetic palettes and softer, more pared-back tones, depending on the emotion and rhythm of the work. Bold skies, luminous waterways, rolling terrain, and abstracted forms emerge through layered brushwork and confident mark-making, giving each piece a strong sense of movement and individuality.
