About the artist: 

Jennifer McBrien is a Baltimore textile artist who uses her sewing machine as a drawing tool to honor her fragile subjects. Her process begins with her ink drawings that are then translated through the eloquence of the stitched line. She uses fabrics to play with patterns, depth, transparency, and narrative. 

McBrien studied painting at Towson State University and the Maryland Institute, College of Art, receiving a BS in Fine Arts and an Advanced Teaching Certificate in Art Education for the state of Maryland. She taught in the Baltimore County School system for her last 15 years as Department Head for Parkville High School’s Art department. McBrien attributes her proficiency in drawing to drawing in front of a critical audience while teaching high school art for thirty years.

Please join us on Wednesday, July 2 from 5 PM  to 7 PM at Hotel Indigo for the opening reception celebrating the solo exhibition of Jennifer McBrien. Hotel Indigo is free and open to the public. Please visit Hotel Indigo website for hours of operation.
