Hi, I'm Brandi.
I'm a multidisciplinary artist and mum based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. I grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, before moving to Australia in 2014 after a serendipitous meeting with my now husband.
I spend most of my days in the studio painting oversized versions of everyday objects, from Barbie boots to plastic chairs and family heirlooms. I'm interested in how ordinary things become part of our stories, carrying memories from one generation to the next.
Since becoming a mum, my work has become even more interested in memory, play, and the things we choose to hold onto and pass forward. Through bold colour and familiar subjects, my paintings celebrate the beauty and significance of everyday life.
In 2026, I presented my first solo exhibition, I Love You Buckets Full, at The G Contemporary in Noosa. My work has also been exhibited with galleries in Sydney and Noosa, selected as a finalist in several art prizes, and featured in ART EDIT magazine and the Sunshine Coast Council's Arts Coast project.
When I'm not in the studio, I'm usually spending time with my husband and son, reading a good book, and enjoying life with my family on the Sunshine Coast.
