b. 1986, Baltimore, MD

Briana is an abstract artist working in Montclair, New Jersey. "Affectation" is her introductory series without a classical education in the studio arts, thus its apt, yet vulnerable title. In 2020, she became intrigued with the capsule shape prevalent in the series and its multiform ability on the two-dimensional plane. Each composition communicates resource and substance despite limits or restriction while supporting their individual subjects. Her use of black and white, textured medium not only extends this message, but amplifies its expression.
