Brennan was born in Ballarat in 1960. She went on to complete a Fine Arts degree, in painting, at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 1982 and a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in philosophy, at the University of Melbourne in 1992.[1] Best known for her high-keyed abstractions, Brennan displays a mastery of colour and spontaneity in her work that offers the viewer a range of ideas and emotions that seek a reaction. She continues to add to her repertoire of painting styles, including abstracts, text paintings, portraits, interiors and landscapes, and more recently has expanded her practice to include ceramics and sculptural installations. These varied modes of art-making allow Brennan to encounter philosophical and personal subject matter. In 2006 the Monash University Museum of Art held a major survey exhibition of her work, titled Angela Brennan: every morning I wake up on the wrong side of capitalism.[2]
