Brenda, a Brazilian-born photo-based artist now in Canada, is intrigued by concepts of normalcy and delves into disability narratives in her work. Using embroidery and other photographic interventions, she adds layers to storytelling, challenging conventional notions and celebrating the richness of human experience. Spielmann founded “Lightwriters”, a photography program where she taught photography to kids and teens with disabilities in schools and hospitals. Brenda worked for editorial clients in Miami, São Paulo, and Toronto. She exhibited in group and solo shows in North Carolina, L.A., Chicago, Colorado, Toronto, Berlin, and online.
