Brenda Bauer paints because she must.
Most people don’t hold onto the childhood need to draw, to make visual sense (or nonsense) of life. But Bauer taps into our primal need to record, to understand, to share one’s vision.
Improvisation and startling, incongruous details are hallmarks of many of Bauer’s pieces, but her art defies easy categorization.
Simultaneously ancient and modern, individual paintings invite viewers into secret rooms and emotions.
Above all, Bauer wants people to draw their own conclusions upon seeing her compositions.
She says she often starts her paintings without an intentional narrative and that themes and interpretations emerge during her process or in completion. Unplanned and extemporaneous, Bauer lets her work evolve and tell stories she didn’t always anticipate.
Now living in Santa Fe, N.M., Bauer was born and raised in Havre, Montana, a wild child of the mountains and plains. She received her art degree from UNM-Albuquerque and has also lived and worked in Taos.
