Meet the Artist
Rosie Brandenburg
Gesture, color, and the want to capture fleeting emotion drives my work at it's core. These distinct characteristics created imagery and at times characters that reflect and depict the push and pull of my ongoing narrative. My artwork has always been inseparable from the moments that have shaped my life; from a chaotic childhood in a mixed race family to candid snapshots at the collapse of society. What starts internal I face towards the viewer at it's most visceral and intimate point in hopes of a shared experience and an open conversation of what was once felt too private to explore.
EDUCATION
Received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2018 from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. Majored in New Studio Practice with a focus in painting and mixed media. The major was an integrated studio arts program bent on making students into multidisciplinary, independent, and working artists. Graduated with the title of Cum Laude with a GPA of 3.7.
