Meeting at the Bar

Rollie Brandt

As a child, Rollie Brandt knew what she wanted in life–to pursue a career in art. How fitting her exceptional talents are now realized nationally in endearing portrayals of children exploring their world and interacting with nature. Known as “the artist” throughout her school days, young Rollie revealed an uncharacteristically mature dedication to developing her artistic skills. For many teenagers standard course work is enough, but Brandt sought advanced training in art through college correspondence courses. She furthered her formal training and accelerated her artistic growth with the entrepreneurial launching of a sign-painting business in her sophomore year. Currently Brandt is enjoying the benefits of her diligence. Meticulous detail and a vibrant pallet are her trademarks. Those signature traits work together allowing her active scenes to capture the innocence and energy of her subjects.
