Brenda Backman

March & April Community Artist on Display

We welcome our very own Wheaty, Brenda Backman, to the community art space for the months of March and April! You will have to see her series “Gut Punch” in person to truly appreciate the details in Backman’s work.

“I’ve been making art and stitching since I was twelve and started making my own needlepoint designs.  I’ve been hooked ever since.  In 2000 I graduated from Iowa State University with a BFA and began my professional art career.  I’ve shown my work all over the US and internationally as well.  My work is characterized by a lively use of color and a heavily detailed surface which gives an intimate quality to the pieces.” – Brenda
