About the artist

Brie Adkins is a professional visual artist / muralist working in rural Alberta. She has shown her work in exhibition spaces for the past 8 years and has murals in Canada, France and Spain. Brie explores interrelationships between nature, psyche and soul. Her work often asks viewers to reflect on their own actions and intentions as they move through this world. Through dedication, artist residencies, mentorship and seminars Brie has refined skills in aerosols and acrylics to create a surreal and contemporary collection of animals. Brie has received various awards, grants and publicity in her region for paintings and murals.

 

Brie has also been a fierce advocate for art in rural spaces, having raised thousands of dollars in funds through murals to go towards youth art programs in her local area. She has advocated and opened a free wall in her hometown because she believes like skateparks and baseball diamonds, artists deserve a space to develop skills, to paint on walls anytime and be able to express themselves publicly. Within these spaces she teaches mural classes and painting skills to aspiring artists.

 

Brie’s work can be found in The Heart of Edson Gallery, online ant @b.adkinsart and in her Entwistle studio for viewing.
