Advocates for Kindness, Inclusion, and Positivity
Be Kind. Compassion changes everything.
Hello, I'm Trena. I like to talk about possibilities!
I have a passion for color and a passion for people - teaching art is that crossroad. I am an illustrator, mixed media artist, and surface designer who is excited to make art! I love to create interesting pieces that will result in rich color, contrast, texture, and movement. I find inspiration everywhere and use a variety of supplies to develop a piece that makes my heart smile.
My experience includes owning The Brannon Factory, LLC greeting card business, children's book illustrator, serving in various roles in the Arts & Crafts industry including Founding Contributor of the Alcohol Ink Art Society, and a design team member for Art Impressions, Crafters Companion, and Sunday International. I completed product certifications for Copic Markers, Spectrum Noir Markers, and Tombow Dual Brush Pens. I love sharing and have taught in-person classes at Dick Blick Art Supplies and at art centers.
