Brianne Cotter is a US born artist currently living and working in a coastal town outside of Barranquilla, Colombia. Born and raised in New York City, she has always been drawn to language and art. Collage has allowed her to blend, or glue, the two together. She began the craft in high school with her parents magazines. While studying Spanish at Oberlin College, she traveled to Argentina, Chile, and Mexico, collecting pieces of paper she found as artifacts. After graduating, she moved to Colombia to pursue a teaching position. There, she immersed in the culture, learning new phrases and traditions while also continuing to collage. She has now curated two exhibitions, one in Barranquilla and one in New York City.
