In 2013 Bri moved to the Wausau area from Milwaukee Wisconsin where she worked as a lead instructor/ art designer for various nation-wide paint & sip franchises. Her artwork is still taught across the country by these industries. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee with a Bachelors degree in Interdisciplinary Art, Double Major in Art History. An entrepreneur and teacher at heart, she previously owned an Art Gallery in Bay View WI while working as a professional mural artist and volunteered her time to teach art classes at inner-city youth centers. Her murals have even been featured on House Hunters HGTV Milwaukee. She is also a two-time recipient of the Executive Women International Scholarship Award and the first business in Marathon County to be certified Autism Friendly in 2021. Briana uses her talents and gifts to give back to her community with fundraising and charity work through U Paint & Party™ and has contributed many original artworks to numerous charities and fundraising activities statewide. While U Paint & Party is based in Central Wisconsin, she is happy traveling all over the state to bring creative fun to everyone! "I love it when someone says they can't paint, and they leave a U Paint & Party event™ just beaming with joy that they created their own masterpiece.- That is seriously the best part of what I do!" -Bri
