About the Artist

About Brianna

Brianna LaVarta in her studio

I’m Brianna — a wildlife and botanical artist, born and raised where the Uncompahgre and San Juan Forests stretch wide beneath the Colorado sky. Those alpine woods and rivers shaped me, and I’ve been sketching their quiet magic ever since.

The techniques I use were passed down by my grandfather, whose hands taught me to look slowly, to draw what’s true. My early days were spent wandering the forest with a sketchbook, collecting wonder the way others collect stones.

Now from my home studio, I’m still surrounded by the wild: rabbits in the thicket, hawks overhead, the rare hush of a fox at dusk. They remind me—every day— that flora and fauna are never separate things. They are one story, still unfolding.


Why I’ll Always Be Grateful You’re Here

Your support does something quiet and profound: it keeps forests alive — not just on paper, but in memory, in wonder, in the stories we choose to tell. It lets me show up, pencil in hand, and honor the wild without compromise.

If you’d like to keep walking beside me in this creative thicket, you can sign up for my Substack newsletter — no account needed.
