Bren Corn
back to
gallery artists
 The paintings of Bren Corn reflect a
talent that emerges from her deep
devotion to the medium. Working from
a never-ending passion, she trusts
every stroke using her paintbrush as
her instrument of intuition and
spontaneity. She says, “It still
blows my mind to see what ends up on
my canvas.”
Corn had
the ability to suddenly change her
style and erupt with new phases of
work. "It's time for a new
movement". Being bombarded with
iconography along with major changes
in her life prompted the abstract
works. "I'm discovering a new part
of myself with this new phase of
work, declaring realities...simply
seeing what is right in front of
me...no need to search; nature,
reality, and freedom are already
there. " Corn works with the freedom
that clearly exhibits her respect of
the child-like spirit and trust
found in the realm of honoring ones
passions in life…her paintings are
wild with color and emotion, a style
that is truly her own.
Corn believes art
is limitless to interpretation. She
invites the viewer to experience her
work and allow each piece to strike
in its’ own way. She says,
“Ultimately, you will not see what I
see; every individual is reached
differently. I want you to take out
of it what you will. That is truly
the beauty and wonders of Art.”
Corn’s education
includes the University of Colorado
in Boulder, and Western State
College in Gunnison where she
received a BA in Fine Art. Among her
many honors, she graduated Summa Cum
Laude in 2000 from Western State, a
recipient of “National Appreciation
of Fine Artists: Artist of the
month” in 2000, “Best of College
Photography” Forum Magazine 2000,
Artreach International Competition
Award Winner 2003, Director of
Paragon Gallery in Crested Butte, Co
2003-2004, and a News 4 interview
2004.
Her work is
included in over 200 private
collections throughout the United
States, including Western State
College. She exhibits her work
through solo and group exhibitions
as well as invitational and juried
competitions and festivals.
