I paint in watercolor and acrylic on paper and wood panels. I love watercolor because it combines luminosity with soft edges and unpredictable results. Painting in acrylic introduced me to many layers, textural effects and collage elements. I find the space between representational and purely abstract images most compelling. My subject matter varies based on what I find intriguing and challenging but includes many landscape settings.
Bria Edwards–a Washington, D.C. native and B.F.A. Graphic Design graduate of St.
John’s University–spent over a decade scouting and scaling the visual arts circuit
before finally finding her niche. Until then, she had been sure of only a few
things–of these things.
She needed texture. Her hands needed to bend and shape and mold divergent
media, never tethered to just a computer keyboard or canvas. Edwards also
needed her pallet-knife and vibrant colors to manifest her 2D portraitures–immersive and
palpable opuses that both tangibly and visually debunk the monolithic myths about black
people.

“Patricia’s Neighborhood Wall” By A. C. Warden
A. C. Warden's film documents my experience painting a 25 x 33 foot mural in Dupont Circle, Washington DC in 1983.
The Washington Post also published a feature on my process of creating this mural called "The Big Picture".
All credit for this film goes to A. C. Warden.
