Bryanna Manning
is a West Michigan–based painter inspired by the natural world and the Great Lakes. Living in the woods near Lake Michigan, and drawing inspiration from her family cottage in Northern Michigan, she seeks to capture the magic of childhood summers spent at the shore—capturing the sense that anything is possible, that the natural world is good, and that beauty surrounds us.
Her work is influenced by modern impressionism, featuring loose brushwork, vibrant color, and a strong sense of light. Bryanna builds texture through paint, medium, and the interplay of line, shape, and color, creating layered surfaces that invite close observation.
Through her paintings, she hopes to evoke the feeling of cherished places and time spent outside with loved ones. Bryanna’s landscapes celebrate the joy, freedom, and wonder of nature, reminding us that the places we love will be there for us, again and again.
