About Brooke
Hello there and Welcome to my site! I am an Omaha- based artist known for my expressionistic mixed- media paintings. I love using a strong, bold palette that explores natural pigments and earth-hues punctuated by bright pops of color and deep, rich shadows. My passion is creating multi-layered work that invite viewers to linger, explore, and discover unexpected elements. As a public school teacher, I am a bit of a science, literary, and history nerd and you can find many of these influences in my work. My current series explores chemistry and the corrosive effects of time with the goal of opening a dialogue about history, the beauty of aging, and nature as artistic force.
