Even as a child, Rollie Brandt knew what she wanted in life - to become an artist. The beginning of her career path goes back to grad school where she excelled in art. "I was constantly drawing and painting for my family and friends," Rillie Brandt states.
Known as "The Artist" throughout high school, Rollie concentrated on developing her technique and style. Havin an entrepreneurial spirit, she launched a sign-painting buisiness her sophomore year. After graduation, Brandt held a variety of art-related positions that gave her invaluable education in graphic design, typesetting, and printing.
Motivated by the desire to become a full-time mother, Rollie Brandt pursued freelance work she could tackle at home. Within a short period of time, this highly creative designer and illustrator had established a successful home-based graphics studio. She taught herself to paint, "squeezing lessons in" while the kids napped and during other rare free moments in her busy design studio.
Now, a full-time painter, Artist Rollie Brandt and her husband enjoy living cose to their roots in east-central Minnesota where they raised three children.
Rollie Brandt paints from her heart. Her favorite subjects are horses, the animals she grew up with, and children. The real charm of her work lies not in the detail she is known for, but in the timeless feelings they evoke - "Been there, done that and loved it!" "With my paintings, I try to depict kids happily 'being kids,' much like life in the '50s and '60s when I grew up. I would be outside for hours, sledding until I was soaked. Or, in the summer, I would sit on the dock all day with angle worms and dirty fingers busy fishing for sunnies."
Rollie Brandt's art work is displayed at several art shows and sporting exhibits each year. Her work has appeared in numerous magazines and on several covers, including the Minnesota DNR Hunting Regulations Booklet. Children and kids in art prints for sale, Family hunting prints for sale.
