Thoughtfully made for you.

I make goods that are small works of art. Each piece is handmade, one-of-a-kind, and crafted entirely from reclaimed materials. Thoughtfully designed and built by my human hands, these items are made to be held, kept, gifted, and cherished. Each piece finds its home with the very person it was always intended for.

I am an Australian paper artist, illustrator and designer, inspired by nature, place and the intricacies of being human. My work brings together richly illustrated storytelling with explorations of emotional healing, psychological growth, self-discovery, grief, resilience and the quiet transformations of the inner landscape.

And sometimes I invent cute little charactures just for fun.

Hi, I’m Brenner, an artist

I create emotive, nature-inspired illustrations using mixed media — acrylic paint, paper and fabric collage, and hand-drawn digital. Each piece explores the beauty, vulnerability, and interconnectedness of the natural world, inviting moments of reflection, wonder, and emotional connection.

The scene has a cozy, small-town vibe.

and author.

I created The Fruit of Dragons in my home on the Atherton Tablelands of Far North Queensland, Australia, where I live with my husband and daughter, a cattle dog named after a famous fairy, and a thriving tropical vegetable patch tended by six plump hens.

As an introspective thinker and a quiet observer, I am drawn to the power and beauty of vulnerability, and the courage of those who possess it. With an almost intuitive understanding of the human heart, I translate these observations into stories that are both captivating and hauntingly moving.

The Fruit of Dragons is my debut picture book for adults. I invite readers to explore the intricate landscapes of their fears and curiosities, and to ignite the power of their dreams.
