About the Instructor
About Bryanna Marie
Bryanna Marie, from Tucson, AZ, is enchanted by the beauty often overlooked in everyday life. Through self-teaching and mentorships from artists she admired, painting swiftly became her foremost passion. In 2014, the allure of miniatures captivated her, beginning with a small 3x3 canvas for charity. Today, she crafts detailed landscapes and portraits on coin-sized canvases. While emphasizing traditional styles, her work captures the profound wonder in the minute. Additionally, Bryanna has developed a passion for teaching, eager to impart her knowledge and journey to students, empowering them with the art of observation in classic drawing and painting.
Featured on ABC News and Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, she proudly exhibits her art both nationally and abroad.
