Brenna Fisher uses art to inspire imaginative problem-solving and create compassionate communities. She an alumna of the New York Arts Program and Atelierista (curriculum specialist) at Barrow Street Nursery School.

Brenna is a 
social practice artist, a form that actively engages the public through collaboration, social interaction, and dialogue. The aim of social practice is to shape a shared social environment, where the viewer's experience becomes the essence of the artwork. Brenna works in mixed media to create paintings, photos, and writing that draw from her research in human development, social justice, and auto-ethnographic processing. In schools and home settings, she designs play-based, inquiry focused, and Reggio Emilia-inspired spaces that encourage safe risks for early learners.

Brenna holds a Master's in Early Childhood Education (M.Ed.) from Hunter College and a B.A. in Studio Art from the College of Wooster. She mentors undergraduates in art and education and formerly established arts programming for Kingsley Pines Camp (video here) around the idea that “art changes lives.”


Brenna is a mother and sees parenthood as part of her artistic practice. A great lover of animals and the natural world, themes of conservation and respect for earth define her work over the years.

Brenna shares her home with her blended family which includes cats named Krasner (for Lee Krasner), Hobbes, and Ferdinand the cat.
