Brandy Schuenemann
Brandy Schuenemann is a string artist from the vibrant artistic community of Lockhart, Texas. As a young girl, Brandy’s fascination with string art began to take shape in her grade school art class, where she crafted her very first piece. In 2013, she picked up the threads of her passion once more, and her artistic journey truly began to unravel.
Schuenemann meticulously weaves intricate patterns and tangled knots, transforming string, nails, and wood into vivid, vibrating compositions. As a lover of mathematics, Brandy finds string art to be the perfect marriage of geometry and creativity. She looks to nature, architecture, and music to find endless angles, patterns, rhythms, and fractals to inspire and enchant. Her admiration for street art, particularly the elusive Banksy, has led her on a quest to push the boundaries of her craft. In 2017, she hosted a street string art exhibit, tying together the worlds of street and fiber art.
Schuenemann has also commissioned large-scale lobby installations for the Residence Inn of Mariot-Austin and Staybridge Suites Houston-NASA/Clear Lake. The latter piece combines lights with her characteristic thread drawings in a shimmering ode to space travel.
