About Brianne Burnell: Kitchener Mixed Media Artist

 

About The Artist

Brianne Burnell is a mixed media collage artist based in Kitchener. Her work is intuitive, experimental, and full of colour. She embraces the unexpected “happy accidents" in her work, accepting imperfection and letting the art develop without too much control. More than anything she seeks to create artwork that is sincere, joyful, and emotional. Artwork you will never tire of, that reveals something new each time you view it.
