My name is Brandi Marlett, I am a 24 yo artist that expresses my ideas through several mediums; ceramics, painting, drawing, photography and printmaking.
Originally born in Des Moines, Iowa, I went to the University of Iowa to pursue a degree in Anthropolgy and Art. After graduating I’ve continued to paint in my free time and exploring the bounds of what making art means to me. A lot of what inspires the work I produce stems from observing the environment around me and warping what I see into a imaginary stage while also intuitively playing with colors and shapes in a way that adds an element of abstraction to my work.
