Discover the Worlds of Brandy Masch

Brandy Masch creates narrative, whimsical landscapes where animals carry urban habitats and environments on their backs.

Artistic Vision

Since 2007, Brandy has explored the concept of animals as carriers of human worlds. Initially inspired by the whimsical animation Howl's Moving Castle, she began painting robotic cityscapes that imagined mobile environments drifting through empty spaces. This early exploration evolved into hybrid works like the Hillside and Time Flies, where mechanical and organic forms intertwined, hinting at a new direction. Over time, her vision shifted fully towards animals as the foundation, supporting cities, habitats, and stories upon their backs. Blending playful surrealism with a profound connection to the natural world, Brandy's work invites reflection on coexistence, resilience, and the delicate balance between humanity and nature. Through intricate details and layered storytelling, each piece becomes a world of its own, an imaginative reflection of our shared environment and the impact of human life upon it.

Process, Medium, and Collector Appeal

Brandy works primarily in acrylic ink, layering intricate details to build miniature worlds within each painting. Her pieces range from intimate 8" × 10" works, which often feature compact urban mini-cities, to large-scale paintings up to 36" × 60", which incorporate smaller narrative elements within expansive compositions.

She uses only the highest-quality paints, materials, and varnishes to ensure each work is archival and long-lasting. Collectors are drawn to the originality, whimsical storytelling, and meticulous detail of her work. Each painting invites viewers to explore a layered world, where animals and human environments coexist.
