Brianna Lamar is a fine artist & designer from the beautiful Ojai Valley in Southern California.  Her talent for drawing began as a child and blossomed into adulthood along with her love of art, fashion and design.

She holds a degree in Fashion Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC where she spent one year abroad studying at Polimoda in Florence, Italy.  She has worked in fashion as a textile designer for Patagonia and as a designer for her own collections of handcrafted jewelry for men and women, and was listed in the international Not Just A Label Designer Directory until retiring her label in April 2018.  Brianna has sold her artwork since she was a teenager and from March 2016 - March 2017 she ran her own weekend art & design gallery in downtown Ojai, CA where she sold her own art and jewelry along with a few select local artists she represented. 

Brianna's path as a deeply inspired creative being has not been simple or straightforward.  Her passion to fulfill her soul purpose drives her through the challenges, along with her deep connection to God/Divine/Creator.  She works from intuition and observation, inspired by Nature, Truth, Beauty and the Divine. Her style is fluid, lush, expressive, articulate and architectural.

"What we observe is not nature in itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning."  - Werner Heisenberg

Truth, Liberty & Sovereignty are the principles that drive my philosophical views on life and what it means to be human.

Mark 11:22 ....Have Faith in God

As a native of Ojai, California, the sacred "Valley of the Moon"....my roots run deep for my love and respect for Nature and the Divine.  I am an advocate for the environment, local-made, small-business, freedom, sovereignty, regenerative agriculture,  natural materials and the wisdom of the old ways.  I do not support any "climate-change" policies or global agendas.

"My artwork is an exploration of the realm of the Lucid Lush™,

a personal phrase and artistic philosophy that channeled through me, that describes an infinitely expanding visionary dreamtime space unfolding as the multi-dimensional expression of beauty."

:process:

Lucid is the dreamer in the Lush and lulling land.....seeking the voice that speaks through her own hand....

My art process is personal and poetic, thoughtful and intuitive, passionate and meditative. My subject consists of shapes, lines, and colors emerging as forms and symbols to express the mythical, sensual, spiritual, provocative, playful and ever-present unfoldment of being. By allowing the authentic quality of the media to work through me, the lucid lush™ experience comes alive through brush and pen, engaging the viewer into the visceral act of painting and drawing.....an act of the dreaming divine...the dance of the lucid line.

:aesthetic:

lush - fluid - visceral - spatial

:philosophy:

My world is experienced in two ways simultaneously: through the sensory and the symbolical. My work explores the interwoven dimensions of form and symbolism, construction and connection, beauty and invocation. The Natural Universe is my greatest inspiration, offering the purest insight into the depth and complexity of this creative communion of form, beauty and design with function, purpose and meaning. My design process is intuitive like my art process, however the approach is more structural and engineered according to the application.

:aesthetic:

modern - rooted - dimensional - ethereal
