Bio
Brenna Cameron Lopes is a Massachusetts-based artist whose work centers on the naturalistic and fantastic. She is inspired by the way that mythology, folklore, and fairy tales forge a connection between the self and the natural world, and her art often settles at the meeting point of empirical observation and imaginative contemplation. She is forever chasing a sense of softness in her work, and trying to weave the threads of her interest in history, literature, mythology, esotericism, and natural sciences into facets of her personal artistic tapestry.
Having studied English Literature at the graduate level, her work is informed by the poetry and writing which has colored her academic interests — specifically that which focuses on natural minutiae and mythical interpretation.
She works primarily in oils and pencil. Her stream-of-consciousness-style sketchbook pages form the foundation of her creative practice, and are the roots from which her oil paintings grow.
