ENC Spring Faire 2012 Featured Artists - Brynne Cogorno


The Environmental Nature Center's Spring Faire 2012 will take place on May 5, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the ENC located at 1601 16th Street, Newport Beach, CA 92663.
Local Laguna Beach artist, Brynne Cogorno, has been creating art all her life. She graduated from the University of Colorado in 2007, where she received her bachelor of fine arts in painting and drawing. Boulder is where Brynne learned the importance of living a sustainable life through the friends she met, and the people she worked with.
Backward Prints was created in August 2008, with all intentions of reminding people to smile and laugh. Ms. Cogorno shows love for life and attention for our planet through her cards and her wall art. Backward prints uses tree-free paper made from plant fibers and organic cotton that is embedded with wildflower seeds. Each print is hand drawn and hand printed using the block printing technique, for the final product is biodegradable and recyclable. "Backward explains me as an artist . . . the name to me, means someone who follows their dreams. I hope to show people that they can make a difference by how they choose to live their lives, and the decisions they make day to day,” she said.
