Brenda Kenney is a painter whose work is deeply rooted in personal reflection, authenticity, and a profound connection to nature. With a style that blends expressive mark-making and real elements of nature combined with splashes of realism, she explores themes of resilience, transformation, and appreciation for the quiet beauty found in everyday moments.
Over the years, Brenda has sold numerous original paintings, prints, and commissions to collectors across the country, and her work has been recognized with awards at both local and regional art events. She's exhibited her work at regional shows and galleries, and has participated in several arts organizations. She's also enjoyed sharing her love of art by teaching classes and workshops throughout northern NH and VT.
After facing the physical challenge of a broken wrist in 2024, Brenda took time to step back, regroup, and reconnect with her artistic purpose. Her recovery in conjunction with recent world events, furthered her resolve to maintain a heart felt approach to both life and art.
Brenda is currently focused on creating meaningful work that elevates the fragile connections we share as humans, and emphasizes how deeply we are all connected to our environment. She is devoted to building a creative life that aligns with her values - one that is rooted in freedom, authenticity, and a peaceful appreciation for all that is living. Her evolving work in oil, acrylic, and mixed media embraces the beauty and the challenges, while inviting viewers to slow down, take a moment to reflect on their own journey, and to find themselves within the layers.
