Deidre Bruhn

Deidre Bruhn’s passion for art was sparked by life drawing sessions and experimental mark making of the figure and face. Her art has now evolved into a melting pot of mixed media applications which are composed of colour, texture, layering and collage pieces both made and found, with paper, wood panels and canvas as her chosen substrates. Experimentation is an essential part of Bruhn’s process, along with lots of energy, passion, constructing and deconstructing. She finds joy in the serendipity and the totally unexpected outcome from working intuitively. There are no preconceived notions or planned end-products. Nothing is predetermined. Bruhn is not concerned with realism, rather she employs spontaneity and intuitiveness to capture the essence, intrigue or gesture of the subject.

“All my work reflects these processes and my constant desire to take risks and to produce art of depth and interest. Authenticity, creativity and remaining true to myself is crucial to me. Perfectly Imperfect.”
