an art show by Brett Manning

December 7th, 2024 - March 15th, 2025

Brett Manning is an artist living and working from her rural Indiana home. She is heavily inspired by the natural surroundings, obsessive patterns and textures, traditional and forgotten folklore- especially the old tales of fairies and monsters, and embracing the darkness and the things that would horrify many. Instead, she strives to build a relationship with the shadow world, understanding that it is within the darkness where we dream and can find peace.

She primarily works in ink, but occasionally enjoys snapping photos of herself and any willing friend, creating images that she describes as 'movies that don't exist.' Her newest venture has been creating soft, loveable little faerie and goblin plushies, PluSidhe, with the goal of giving other types of faerie entities the representation they deserve...and want! @plusidhe is her instagram for the plushies.
