She attended the Johannesburg College of Art majoring in Graphic Design and worked as a Graphic Artist in South Africa and the United States for many years. The influence of her culture and heritage with its attention to detail and design can be observed in her work. Many modern American artists including Charles Demuth, Carolyn Brady, Joseph Raphael, Wayne Thiebaud and Gerald Silva have also influenced her work. What has inspired Ms. Bagg most about these artists is their brilliance, creativity, honesty, strong sense of design and ability to conquer challenges. Brenda Bagg is constantly trying to push herself to the next level and search for new ways to explore and create artwork. She demonstrates that ordinary items are actually wondrous things of beauty. Life and art are challenging but rewarding, simple but complex, fragmented but whole. Seeking to create, she invites the viewer to experience a heightened awareness and an emotional connection and appre- ciation of life.    Exhibitions:   2002 Valley Watercolor Exhibition at the Viva Gallery (Ruth Probst Caine Award)   2002 Women Painters West Exhibition at the Lankershim Arts Center   2001 Women Painters West Exhibition at the Orlando Gallery   2001 Valley Watercolor Society Exhibition at the VIVA Gallery   2001 Women Painters West Exhibition at the VIVA Gallery   2001 Jack Sprat’s Grille - Solo Exhibition   2000 Watercolor West at The Brea Cultural Arts Center   2000 Southern California Open Regional Exhibition (SCORE) at the VIVA Gallery   2000 Valley Institute of Visual Art (VIVA) - Salon Member   2000 Women Painters West “Square One” Exhibition at the Finegood Art Gallery (Evylena Nunn Miller Award)   2000 Valley Watercolor Society Exhibition at the Burbank Creative Arts Center (First Prize Award)   1999 Women Painters West Exhibition at the Lancaster Museum of Art (Ruth Probst Caine Award)   1999 Southern California Open Regional Exhibition (SCORE) at the VIVA Gallery   1999 Valley Institute of Visual Art (VIVA) Group Exhibition at the VIVA Gallery   1999 Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Sales and Rental Gallery   1998 Valley Watercolor Society Exhibition at Cal State Northridge University   1997 Valley Watercolor Society Exhibition at the Brand Library (Third Prize Award)   1996 Valley Watercolor Society Exhibition at the Brand Librarys   Art Affiliations:   • Valley Watercolor Society • Women's Painters West • Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) • Valley Institute of Visual Art (VIVA), Los Angeles   Education:   1988-1999 Attended private workshops and studied at the Brentwood Art Center, Los Angeles 1971-1974 Johannesburg College of Art, South Africa (Graphic Design Diploma)   Work Experience:   1975-1999 Graphic Design Freelance Artist 1971-1974 Owner of Art Farm, a Graphic Design Studio in South Africa   Teaching Experience:   1998 Conducted private workshops teaching beginning watercolor classes   NOTE: Tax and shipping not included.   Please contact artist for further details at brendabagg@earthlink.net or at (310) 470-3664
