Mission
“I paint for people to have their own experience. I believe in painting as a radically freeing and healing art form for both the artist and the viewer. My mission is to allow anyone who views my work to have an unlimited imagination.” -Sunshine
Vision
The “Imagination By Sunshine” company name was inspired by Brielle’s childhood nickname given to her by parents, who called her “Sunshine”. The term imagination is utilized to express my passion for people to revert back to what’s inside of them. Opposed to the current trends of mindlessly consuming entertainment at our fingertips. My childhood was filled with imaginative play and creativity. I enjoyed creating movies, magazines, music videos, murals, and much more. In retrospect, creating, was an everyday occurrence. Activities allowed me to connect with my siblings and cousins that brought so much joy to my life. I aim to spread that same innocence and joy of inspiration from one's own imagination through my artwork. -Sunshine
