ARTIST BIO:

“Brooke Bishop is a woman as rich in aspect as her art - colorful, intricate, thoughtful, precise and free.” ~ Kira Yannetta

Brooke applies her love of pattern, texture and color to convey the emotions that lie beneath the surface of each work of art. Her fascination with the human psyche, and life’s eternal questions, inspire her creations. Working primarily in a figurative manner, she takes liberal license to follow where the paint and her energies lead.

“I love the action of drawing and painting, to feel the juiciness that is just barely in my control.  I love to play with the duality of complex pattern and airy open spaces, and to create a dialogue with the viewer full of questions and revelations.” 

Much of her work conveys the bucolic terrain she experienced as a child in Pasadena, California - a distinct departure from the frenetic, ethnic, entertainment-oriented world she inhabited as an adult in Los Angeles. Brooke now lives with her family in the mountain town of Truckee, California. This very different environment has given her the opportunity to inform her work with the raw peace and majesty of nature.
