Baker Artist Portfolios

Brenda Kidera is a representational artist. Her paintings reflect a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature. Kidera captures moments in time with brushstrokes that convey the light and mood and delicate details of her subject matter. She spends hours in the field sketching, observing and photographing, and she spends many more preparing for well-thought-out compositions from the information gathered. Her work has won many awards and has been exhibited throughout the US, including one-woman shows and major art exhibitions. Kidera has been teaching painting in watercolor, oil and acrylic since the 1990’s.

Beyond a fine art degree, Kidera studied classical oil painting and has attended workshops with several nationally recognized artists. Her work has been featured in many publications. Juried Signature Artist memberships include the Washington Society of Landscape Painters, Society of Animal Artists, International Guild of Realism, American Women Artists, Baltimore Watercolor Society, Pennsylvania Watercolor Society and Potomac Valley Watercolorists. She also holds memberships in several other organizations: Oil Painters of America, National Watercolor Society, and American Watercolor Society to name a few. For many arts organizations, Kidera has taught painting classes and workshops, given lectures and painting demonstrations, and served as a juror. She continues to paint commissioned portraits, landscapes and other subjects for a wide range of clients.

Kidera’s studio is located in Woodbine, Maryland surrounded by the rural countryside, gardens and wildlife which are inspiration for many of her paintings.
