After graduating from the RCA in London, Brenda worked in the Fashion Industry and as a BBC Costume Designer, using observational sketching as a design tool. This sketching has now developed into painting. Based in Edinburgh, much of her current work is painted on location in the Highlands and on the beautiful beaches of Northumberland. Sketches are built up en plein air using a variety of media with a frantic creative energy that interprets and captures her response to a particular moment in time. Paintings are later worked up into final compositions in her studio. As well as exhibiting in galleries throughout the UK, Brenda has been a visiting lecturer and examiner at Edinburgh College of Art, and has run sketchbook and fashion-based workshops at Leith School of Art.
