Chloé Bren is a Utah-born artist who has called Portland home for nearly a decade. Her artistic journey began with creating pet portraits as holiday gifts, which quickly turned into commissioned work and a deeper passion for making art. Primarily self-taught in watercolor, she has since explored a variety of mediums, with a current focus on colored pencils and pastels for their rich colors and textures. Deeply inspired by nature, her work often highlights the beauty of animals, plants, and landscapes. Her dog, Alfie, is not only her constant companion but also a frequent muse in her artwork.
