Brenda Carroll first held a paintbrush when she was five years old. Today, many years later, she is still most comfortable in her studio, paintbrush in hand.
While she has taken a few art classes throughout her career, she is primarily self-trained. Brenda paints in acrylic and oil. Her skills as an artist are well beyond the many canvases that adorn her studio space. She also brings to life furniture by refinishing and painting old pieces to make them new again.
Brenda has a following of customers over the years that bring their cherished pieces to her to paint. She also creates exquisite work in glass and tile.
When she’s not creating art or breathing new life into furniture, she’s teaching students. One of Brenda’s many talents is simultaneously teaching students with various levels of experience working on a number of different projects all within the same class. Every student receives individual attention and the opportunity to learn and grow at their own pace.
Brenda had her shop and studio in Hampden for over 15 years. She is excited to have begun a new chapter and moved Hanging on a Whim to Timonium, to a shared space with other vendors under the group name: Home Again.
