About Us
Creating and studying art is the soul's delight of Brenda Brannon. For more than 20 years she has discovered the world through oil paint, with a special emphasis on figural paintings, landscapes and portraiture. Through realism and a hint of impressionism in her style, the timeless beauty of our world is evident through her emotional connection with the subject in her paintings.
With a passion for outdoor painting, Ms Brannon's travels have taken her to Italy, the Adirondacks and many out of the way places. Her love of painting is continually nurtured and inspired through the discovery and journey of her own experiences.
Ms Brannon's paintings have been included in The Three Americas Exhibition hosted by the Cork Gallery at Lincoln Center, NY, and the National Juried Art Exhibition in Breckenridge, TX. Her work can be found in collections nationwide, including The Red River Revel and Plein Air Magazine's Gallery collection.
For more information on Ms. Brannon and her work, visit Orisons Art and Framing Gallery at 110 E. Louisiana Street on the Square in Downtown McKinney, TX
