Born in Los Angeles, CA April 10, 1979. I grew up in NYC and Los Angeles and lived in Italy for a while. Having to leave people and watching people leave has helped shape me as a person and as an artist. My work is about how transient relationships can be and the intimacy desired when their around.

| 关于此艺术家 |
Brandy's images are a mix of European classicism infused with an underground avant-garde rebellion. She turns reality into a timeless fantasy. Self-taught , Brandy has been shooting since she was 18 years old. At 21 she moved to Torino, Italy where she lived for 3 years and began building a body of work. Italy responded with great enthusiasm to Brandy with gallery shows (such as the Paolo Tonin Gallery and the Instituto di Fotografia), magazine articles and the attention of influential members of the art community.
In 2003 she moved back to Los Angeles where her art continues to evolve. Rather than reflect the isolation of this city's urban sprawl, she is creating art through an intimate and personal process. Rather than photograph what people look like, she shows what people feel like.
Deeply affected by the transient nature of relationships with family, friends, lovers or a memorable stranger, photography is her way of working through the loss. As a cry for intimacy and a longing to connect she has been presenting them as part of a multi-media project which includes the photographs displayed as “Missing Persons” ads; plaster sculptures of milk cartons with a portrait displayed on each one; and a video featuring interviews with the portait subjects, people whom she no longer speaks with, talking about why they are no longer in contact, the disconnection between them and how that plays a part in their lives.
This inspired another project stemming from the “Missing Persons” series which are photographic collages, called “ID CARDS.” Missing persons are people of Brandy’s past, the “ID CARDS” are portraits of people still in her life or new people who she’s just beginning to know. It’s as if Brandy is creating information I.D. cards that she may file away in order to hold onto so that these people may never go missing.
She continues to create portraits of those close to her. Maybe a stranger that she finds a rare bond with, but her portrait won’t be of the person, it will be of the connection.
