Hello, As you know my name is Brenda Berdnik, I live in Charlotte County, Florida
I am originally from the green mountains of Vermont where I have always had my hands into something art related.
I started working as a graphic artist in the media department for an Insurance Company in 1977. My work there included creating Multi-Image Slide Shows and sales tools. I later became the Art Director of the company.
I met my husband in Florida in 1982. The following year, I moved to Florida and opened Imagery Advertising a full service agency.
In 1996 I opened Timeless Treasures in Punta Gorda. A Gift Gallery and Studio. At the same time I had a sales representative who sold my work throughout the Southeastern United States. I worked in watercolors, acrylics, acrylic enamels for glass, watercolor pencils to create designs for apparel, vintage textiles, quilting, and photography for stationery.
In 2001, my interest began to turn toward 3-D work. I took several workshops and classes in jewelry and began to love working with and forming metal. I learned techniques such as Champleve, Kumboo, Etching, and other enameling applications. For 3 years I fine tuned my skills and joined Sea Grape Gallery, a co-op of artists.
2006 was full of excitment as I started to work with brass etching framed 3d sculptures and combining other medias with my creations.
In 2008 I went on a bus trip to an International Minature Art Show, I walked in the door and I was hooked! The work was unbelieveable. In 2009 I took first place in the Mix Medium category, and had seven pieces in the International Minature show in Wells England.
I have expanded in many directions since then including working with ceramics in 2010. I wanted to get out of the frame and this medium has let me do that.
In 2010 I opened, The Gallery of Fine Art located in Charlotte County.
Fast forward to 2023 I am currently a member of Sea Grape Gallery, in Punta Gorda, Florida.
Today I continue to learn and use all my skills from different fields to create one of a kind art treasures. I have been blessed me with a natural talent which I try to make the most of each day.
