Brejenn Allen is a Mississippi-based visual artist whose practice centers the African American experience in the South as a home for joy, familiarity, and quiet rebellion. Her work captures moments of everyday life in her town, the body, humor, and overlooked objects. Through layered paint, texture, and found materials, she builds surfaces that echo the complexities of the lives she paints. Allen holds a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has exhibited nationally and internationally. Her practice continues to grow through exhibitions, teaching, and community-centered work, drawing collectors who value work founded in place, story, and lived experience.
