Artist Bio:
I am Brianna Thaxton. I was born 1991 in Salt Lake County, Kearns, Utah, where I currently reside with my husband, Paul. I received my Associates from Snow College, Ephraim, Utah in 2012 and my BFA from the University of Utah in 2015 with an emphasis in painting and drawing. I began wood burning in 2020 and my portfolio shifted to the symbolism of the unicorn in 2021. Unicorns keep my mind strong, open and honest. Through the centuries the unicorn has symbolized love, Christianity, purity, wisdom, and so on. For me the symbolism has grown to be more personal: my soul. The human soul is divine and magical. We are all born with purity and strength. Turmoil outside our control challenges the longevity and endurance these traits have, often resulting in trauma. Emotional and/or mental scars are akin to the scars a burn leaves on wood.
