Raised on the New England coastline and currently based in Charleston, South Carolina, Bri Wenke is a multidisciplinary artist, facilitator, and podcast co-host whose work centers on the raw terrain of being human. Her creative practice spans figurative painting, immersive exhibitions, intimate workshops, and global retreats creating environments for reconnection, embodiment, and shared experience.

Bri approaches the human form as a vessel for emotion, memory, and collective narrative. Working with charcoal, palette knives, and heavy-body mediums, her paintings emerge through a visceral, sculptural process, revealing the tension between physicality and feeling. Her work is deeply informed by movement and endurance. As an ultrarunner, Bri draws parallels between the body in motion and the process of artistic excavation, peeling back the layers in search for what lies beneath the surface. Her work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally, including Miami Red Dot, Saatchi Art, Hamptons Fine Art Fair, and the Other Art Fair London. She has independently curated and produced two fully immersive exhibitions, most recently the cover art of Women United Art Magazine, and her work is held in private collections worldwide.
