About the Artist
Brie Hayden is an artist living and working in Richmond, Virginia. Her freehand approach to hyperrealism sets her work apart. Hayden focuses on capturing the subtle details of often overlooked objects, carefully crafting each line and curve to reflect the changes between highlights and shadows. She specializes in capturing antique bottles, a subject matter that is inspired by the inherent beauty of aging and lost stories. Hayden is a self-taught artist who was first introduced to hyperrealism working as an artist for Madame Tussauds in Washington, D.C. When Hayden stepped out as an independent artist in 2020, she quickly gained the attention of a few notable celebrities and brands including Dwayne Johnson and Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey.
My latest work focuses on capturing antique liquor bottles in a hyperrealistic style, where I challenge myself to recreate their intricate details freehand. By drawing these artifacts as they exist today, with their wrinkled and stained paper labels, I aim to emphasize the inherent beauty in the passage of time. Many of these intriguing bottles have been discovered within the walls of old homes, buried deep in the ground, or passed down through generations, accompanied by captivating family legends. Within the delicate lines and textures of my detailed drawings, I invite viewers to imagine the layers of history, stories, and emotions embedded within these overlooked artifacts.
