Image Statement: Working from her Atlanta studio, Ms. Braun is recognized for her innovative, self-directed explorations of thoughtfully selected materials—porcelain, reed, rubber, encaustic wax, aluminum screen, fiber, reclaimed post-consumer discard, and foil gilding—used in unconventional applications. She challenges the boundaries of what should be included in an artist’s toolkit, reimagining materials for her new purposes.
