Brianna has been living in Edmonton and working out of SNAP Printshop since 2019. Her creative practice is called "Penrose Press" in the grand tradition of singular printmakers taking on entire imprints. She acquired her BFA at OCADU in 2017, and became a full-time artist in 2021. She has completed residencies locally at SNAP and Fern's School of Craft. Her circles of collaboration and influence are vast, including a wide variety of creatives in Canada, and printmakers internationally. Brianna's participation in many pop-up markets and art fairs has enabled her full-time art practice, and also developed her superpower as an artist: conversation. Before and after a project is created, she speaks with members of her community, on and offline. Sometimes these other voices are then included (and attributed) in the work, and sometimes they inform the work in a way that allows it to resonate more profoundly with specific audiences. When she presents her work in person, and in full storytelling mode, she is likely to bring you to tears. It sounds heavy, but it is so, so soft.
