Ursula J. Brenner

Brenner was born in Germany and graduated from Cincinnati’s Edgecliff College in 1978 with a B.A. in Drawing & Painting.  She studied with and was influenced by Wolf Kahn, Susan Sarback, Doug Dawson and Albert Handell.  Her work starts with a focus on the fundamental nature of a scene – the values, colors and shapes – using a “notan” study, a Japanese method of examining lights and darks.  She alternates between landscapes and abstracts.  Brenner’s work is exhibited and collected throughout the United States.
