Brianne Valentino’s personal journey as an artist began in her youth. Born in rural nature-filled Vernon, New Jersey, she showed an early interest in the arts. Brianne recalls annual trips with her aunts to see Broadway plays in Manhattan. For Brianne, “growing up surrounded by performing arts led [her] on a journey to explore the world as an artist.” The catalyst for her artistic journey was a birthday gift, a point-and-shoot Polaroid camera given to her by her aunt. Using photography as her primary medium, she began to immerse herself in the art world by photographing the rural landscapes of her hometown.
In high school, Brianne began taking photography classes and learning the basics of film. Brianne’s uncle gifted her his old film camera along with several lenses, which aided in her development and fostered her passion for photography. Living in the darkroom led her to continue her newfound passion for film. Brianne went on to study photography at Sussex County Community College. After completing her Associate's Degree, she transferred to Montclair State University. While at Montclair, Brianne’s professors assigned her to observe and analyze the art scene in NYC. As the closest major art hub, New York City provided Brianne with the chance to form a bond between inspiration and understanding of the art world. Brianne was awarded the area award for photography in her class's BFA exhibition at Montclair.
