Summary

To look at @Briony now is to see decades of work turning what seems impossible to possible through her art on a world’s stage. From figuring out what she wanted to do in her 30’s, finding her way in a man’s world and turning trash to treasure, her story is beyond inspiring and telling of a career where fear is often a part of the success story. From her first successful photo to photographing Oprah and creating larger than life sculptures and breaking the stigma of the “starving artist”, Briony is here to share just what it takes.
