Areas of Specialty / Research Interest

Visual Artist: Abstract Painter. Central to Bramble’s work is the concept that the individual mark has the power to communicate states of being and a sense of place, both directly and viscerally received. Her paintings show us that the activity of the painting process can, itself, be a compelling and holistic image.
