Brianne is a neo-surrealistic artist with a focus on landscapes and objects.

Hi everyone!

I'm so excited to participate in this Art Battle, after obtaining my Master's Degree in Studio Fine Arts I took a break from painting and this is a great way to jump back into the practice! I look forward to meeting fellow artists and seeing what we create.

Thank you,
Brianne

James is coming back from a long hiatus from his artistic passions. Covid hit, and things changed quickly. He took this time to focus more on his life, family, and future: getting married, going to school and starting a new career, and welcoming his first child into the world. This is James' return to painting; happily seeing old friendly faces and hoping to shake off the rust.

Hello,
This is a great moment for me.
For me, this isn't just about competition; it's about connection. It's about sharing a piece of my soul with each stroke of paint, and it's about inviting you to see the world through my eyes, even if just for a moment.

So, as the canvas awaits, I extend my gratitude to each and every one of you for being here, for supporting the arts, and for being a part of this beautiful tapestry of creativity. Let's make this battle a celebration of artistry, inspiration, and above all, a celebration of the human spirit.

With love and paint-stained hands,
