Iconic Inspiration

Author: Roberta Landman
Issue: December, 2009, Page 47


 
The artist works on a painting.
With long, flowing blond hair, the artist might well have been the subject of one of her innocent-looking angel paintings. An admitted Romantic, Brennan says, “I have always loved movies about those women with long hair who live in castles, and those romantic-looking long-haired women in Pre-Raphaelite paintings. But they didn’t have cell phones,” she laughs, returning to the here and now.
 
The artist also is working with Greenwell on a line of jewelry made from vintage pieces. Some of them have charms with representations of her iconic women.

A painting of Joan of Arc is on the horizon, Brennan reports. “I once started out doing her but ended up with a princess painting instead.” A gentleman figure will one day join her ladies as well. “Id like to do St. Francis,” she states. “He is remembered as the sweetest-natured of men.”
 
She will always be involved in art, the artist points out. “Art to me is like breathing. It’s just something I do, always.” And, she reflects, “I believe that my artistic ability is a gift from God, and I’m trying to fulfill the intent of my life’s purpose."
