Brenda Brin Booker was a British artist whose life is described exclusively through her work. The painter was born before the outbreak of World War II, the effects of which accompanied her through her childhood. There is no biographical information about this phase of her life. The times of war have absorbed the visible and invisible memories in many people. Presumably, Brenda Brin Booker was looking for a career around the middle of the last century. A time when it was very difficult for women in the artistic field to establish themselves. In the minds of academic teachers, art by women was considered inferior. Many artists fundamentally denied women the ability to develop an understanding of art and painting. In the years after the war, a return to a traditional role model developed. It was unthinkable for a woman to go through life alone and almost impossible to lead an independent life as an established artist. It is possible that Brenda initially took a traditional path at a young age and only later devoted herself to art. Brenda Brin Booker did not usually date her works. Traces she allows lead to London. But much like a visitor, she leads her viewers to the sites a guest would visit.
A permanent fixture in Brenda Brin Booker's biography is the artist group The five Women Artit's Plus. Along with Joan Thewsey, Brenda has led the group. The artist-driven group was made up of 25 women artists. The priority was women working together in the arts. Irene Butcher had joined this group for several years. She describes Brenda and Joan as talented and established women artists. Brenda wrote a book about the group of artists shortly before her death, autobiographically describing their lives and experiences working together. Brenda followed the group for over twenty years. Some British women artists developed the confidence to make their own mark in the art world during the collaboration.
The works of Brenda Brin Booker are often referred to as Contemporary Art. A form of contemporary painting that has gained attention in artist circles. Brenda's work is wide ranging. It ranges from light landscapes with watercolor pigments that only hint at the contours. Spherical and atmospheric are the moments reminiscent of morning dew and the first light of day. Cheerful and with expressive colours, Brenda's depictions of animals seem like counterparts. Sheep and cows that give a naive, almost childlike impression, yet have a powerful imagery and colouring. Many motifs seem to have stuck with Brenda. There is the used car dealer's dog, which repeatedly becomes the focus of her paintings, and the canal boats in the west of London of which probably no one knows whether she ever got on.
