Brenda Smyth, a vivid and passionate artist, was born in the charming landscapes of Ontario, Canada. Her upbringing amidst the natural beauty of Ontario and the last 50 years in the serene province of New Brunswick have profoundly influenced her artistic spirit. Brenda’s formative years were spent embracing the outdoors, nurturing a close connection with nature that would later become a cornerstone of her artistic expression.

From a young age, Brenda was irresistibly drawn to the world of art, always engaging in creative pursuits with unwavering enthusiasm. Her early romance with drawing, pasting, and cutting was an organic inclination, not prompted by familial ties to art, as there were no artistic connections within her family. Instead, her journey was self-motivated, striving to explore the limits of her imagination.

Brenda’s artistic journey truly began in the early 1990s when she immersed herself in the world of watercolors, training under talented artists in Moncton, New Brunswick. Later, her part-time residence in Fort Myers, Florida, opened a new chapter in her life, where she delved into numerous workshops and seminars led by renowned artists. This exposure to a rich tapestry of styles and techniques was transformative, igniting a fervor within her to explore more intuitive forms of expression. By transitioning to acrylics, oils, and wax, Brenda discovered her authentic voice in the art world.

Parallel to her artistic pursuits, Brenda thrived in various professional roles. Her career began as a Dental Assistant, which later evolved into fulfilling a lifelong dream of operating her own floral shop. As an avid gardener, she channeled this passion into teaching floral design, leading classes that inspired over 200 students annually.

Brenda’s art is a reflection of her life's journey, marked by resilience and the ability to persevere through life's challenges. Her creative process is marked by a playful exploration of principles, a method honed over years of immersive seminars and hands-on learning. The intuitive nature of her work unveils a personal narrative that is uniquely hers, imbued with mystery and imperfection.

influenced by the ebb and flow of life’s experiences, Brenda's works are lauded as beautiful and talented, resonating with an audience that appreciates the authenticity and emotion imbued within each piece. She has been an active member of the Fort Myers Beach Art Association and the Moncton Art Association, contributing to the artistic communities that nurtured her growth.

In addition to her artistry, Brenda finds joy in gardening, knitting, and biking—hobbies that further connect her to the natural world and provide endless inspiration for her creativity. Her art, much like her life, is a continual progression, evolving with each brushstroke in an effort to share her vision with as many as possible.

Aspiring to sell her art and broaden her influence, Brenda Smyth's work reflects her core values—tenacity, authenticity, and a love for exploration. Through her art, she offers society a lens into her world, a testament to the irreplaceable role of art as a medium for sharing human experience.
