Consumption | Fine Art Print with Mat

$25.95

An open-edition fine art print reproduced from Bran Cherie’s original acrylic painting, Consumption. Created as part of the Metamorphosis collection, the work explores the period of growth that precedes transformation and the resources we gather to sustain what we are becoming.

Inspired by the larval stage of the butterfly life cycle, when the caterpillar’s primary purpose is to consume and store energy for its eventual metamorphosis, Consumption reflects the seasons of life devoted to learning, absorbing, building, and preparing. The work considers consumption not simply as taking, but as the accumulation of knowledge, experiences, and resources that can later fuel profound change.

Bran Cherie, 1992

Bran is a Los Angeles–raised, mixed-media artist now based in the Washington, DC area. Her work explores identity, transformation, connection, and the human desire to be seen and understood. Working primarily through figurative painting, Cherie combines acrylic and oil with materials such as gold leaf, modeling paste, and other tactile elements to create works that move between realism, symbolism, and abstraction.

Rooted in personal experience while reaching toward shared human themes, Cherie’s practice considers the emotional and psychological spaces between who we have been, who we are, and who we are becoming. Her paintings examine vulnerability, resilience, belonging, love, loss, and the relationships that shape our sense of self. Through recurring symbolism and layered visual narratives, her work invites viewers to recognize aspects of their own experiences within those of another.

A U.S. Air Force veteran, Cherie developed her artistic practice while living and working across the United States and abroad before transitioning to art full time. Her work has been presented through solo exhibitions, commissions, community partnerships, and public programming throughout the Washington, DC region and beyond.
