ABOUT
BIO
Through painting, works on paper, virtual reality (VR) environments, and public art, Arden Bendler Browning's work investigates the way that color and gesture can encourage a meditative experience of time and place. Her work explores movement, the desire for travel, the effect of digital imagery on perception and memory, and finding wonder, escape, and trepidation through immersive spaces. Her work hovers between landscape and abstraction.
Bendler Browning’s works have been exhibited and collected internationally. Her works are included in several public collections such as the West Collection, the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Microsoft art collection, Dream Hotel Nashville, Frost Tower Collection, Toyota, amongst others. Press includes The Washington Post, New American Paintings, Artist and Place podcast, ArtSpiel, The Studio Visit, BMore Art, Nashville Scene, I Like Your Work podcast, the artblog, Philadelphia Inquirer, Atlanta Journal-Constutition, and Drawing Magazine, and more. Museum exhibitions include the American University Museum at Katzen Arts Center, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Weatherspoon Art Museum, James A. Michener Museum, and Delaware Center for Contemporary Arts. Public works include "Nonstop" (2017), a commissioned Percent for Art project for the City of Philadelphia at the Philadelphia International Airport, and "Elastic Geography" (2021), a Mural Arts Philadelphia project. In 2022, Arden completed artist residencies at Interlude Artist Residency in Livingston, NY, and the Pouch Cove Foundation in Newfoundland, Canada.
Bendler Browning holds a BFA in Art with honors from Carnegie Mellon University (1997), a Master of Studio Art with high distinctions from Sydney College of the Arts (2000), and an MFA in Painting from Tyler School of Art (2003). She has lived and worked in Philadelphia since 2001, with her husband, creative tech programmer Matt Browning, and their three children.

STATEMENT
I make physical and virtual paintings which hover between landscape and abstraction.
Akin to Jane Bennett’s theory of “vital materiality”, the paintings and virtual environments are as alive as real world spaces. Presenting both physical and virtual interpretations of similar images, I present the experience of painting as an ongoing navigation. My studio process relies heavily on process and play, while always looking to the observable world for grounding.
Smartphone photography, with its enhanced visual clarity, influences my work. By integrating digital screens with painted surfaces, I amplify the energy and emotional resonance of both mediums.
I want to offer people a way to be so immersed in a world that they can wander and imagine, but can also feel encouraged to explore and meander without a directive to solve or comprehend.
