About Brenna White
Brenna White was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. She graduated from Oregon State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Brenna knew she was going to be an artist from the time she was a small child and has been a working artist for the last 16 years. Painting in bright, vibrant color, there is always a whimsical story within her work.
Eight years ago, Brenna discovered her additional passion - teaching - while instructing after school art classes for kindergartners through fifth graders. Brenna discovered she had a connection with the kids and felt the calling to be in the classroom full time. She then went back to school and received her Master's Degree in Teaching. Brenna now spends her days teaching middle school language arts and social studies, but always finds the time to continue creating art.
When she's not creating, Brenna leads a very busy life but loves to be at home with her family, enjoys watching her kids play sports, is always up for a walk outside, and is always happy to meet up with friends. Brenna lives happily in Tualatin with her incredible husband Ryan, her awesome son Eli, and fantastic daughter Samantha. She also shares her home with her dogs Zeke, Joe and Hazel and her cat Sampson.
