Jennie Braman is an artist and educator. Her current drawings investigate the nature of representation and the creative language of the body. Her artwork hovers between the viewer and herself, i.e., the maker. Braman states that her work “…is a tangling of lines, shadows, syllables, and sounds arising from the now. It is breathing, revolving, feeding life, and sipping time from the place of origins. What compels speaking from silence, water around a stone, graphite and ink across the page?”

Braman is a full-time faculty member in Studio Art and Art History at Berkeley City College, in Berkeley, California. She currently teaches Beginning to Advanced Drawing and Composition, Introduction to Art History, and History of Women in Art, with an emphasis on the power of art to reflect and shape human experience. Braman has also taught at other schools, including John F. Kennedy University and Williams College. She was born in 1974 and works and lives in El Sobrante, California.
