Bri Wenke is a painter and installation artist who creates figurative work with a deliberate blend of soft and crude realism.

Having earned a history and anthropology degree from the University of Connecticut, her work is inspired by deconstruction, contrast, and a fascination with the antiquity and complexity of the human story.
​
She has collaborated with large creative projects such as "A.I. vs Art" and exhibited a live installation for The Entrepreneur’s Organization East Coast Conference. Wenke's work can be found in private collections around the globe, and is exhibited in Charleston, SC at the Grand Bohemian Gallery. Additional features and collaborations include Charleston Living Magazine, Art Market International Magazine, YETI, Entrepreneurs Org, Exxpedition, and Yelp.

Bri received the 2021 Lowcountry Arts Grant.
