Briena Harmening
Nashville, TN
Reactionary and sometimes uncomfortable, Tennessee native and Nashville-based artist, Briena Harmening (b.1980) uses text to explore autobiography, politics, and southerness. Employing sewing and quilting techniques, Briena transforms everyday materials like quilts, tablecloths, and yard tarps into canvases for her screen-printed narratives and commentary. She is a Florida Gulf Coast University Alumni and later received her MFA from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2010. Currently, she teaches art at James Lawson High School in Nashville. Recently, her work has been exhibited at the Wesmer Gallery in Fort Myers, FL, Quilts Unlimited at the View in NY, National Juried Exhibition at Gallery 130: Oxford, Ms, and Inner Sanctuaries at Strata Gallery, in Sante Fe, New Mexico.
