Brenno Kenji has been teaching figure drawing for over 12 years. He has studied under Steve Huston, Karl Gnass, Glenn Vilppu, Kevin Chen, and  the late Glen Orbik, among others, in Los Angeles, California,  where he also taught Life Drawing, Artistic Anatomy, and Narrative Drawing at the Loyola Marymount University. He’s also an avid painter, having studied under Sunny Apinchapong-Yang, Sean Cheetham, Mian Situ, and Steve Assael, and  having taught alla prima painting at private studios in the Los Angeles area.

Originally from Brazil, Brenno likes to think that he has lived many lives in one,  with each experience enriching and being enriched by the others. Having earned a PhD in Literature and Philosophy (which he taught at the college level for many years), Brenno instills his works and his teaching with a dynamic balance between analysis and intuition, communicating with clarity and passion to a wide range of audiences.
