Noodles and doodles. Paint all over, most of the time. Poems. Sugarbeams and Sunshine. Something to say, always. Double entendre.

Check in, long over-due. Paid dues, paid attention. I might just disappear— or dance my way into the light. Who cares. (Still grateful, still in love, still ready to throat punch if someone deserves it.) by @brandapants

“Through the Window, Darkly” Closing Reception: May 16, 3-5pm. Artist spotlight: Branda Maholtz. Pittsburgh-based artist (with deep ties to the Hudson Valley), Branda C. Maholtz, works primarily in oil paint and pastels. Her work is known for its loose brushstrokes and thoughtful color palette that evoke an illusory, dream-like abstraction, even when the subject matter is familiar. Branda’s titles demand attention not only for their contextualization of the pieces, but also as they serve as an attempt to form a deep emotive connection with the viewer. In her recent works for the series “Landscapes: Postcard Sent from the Past” (2022-2024), Branda creates a sense of place for her most vulnerable experiences while playing with idea of a double-entendre by titling her pieces twice to further explore the multiplicity of meaning and memory as it evolves and is open to interpretation. Branda’s work has been selected for several Associated Artists of Pittsburgh shows, including “Brooklyn X Pittsburgh: the Industry of Art” curated by Eric Shiner, and “Spring Thaw 2025: Alchemists in the Greenhouse.” She was a finalist for TenMoir Gallery’s “Secret Garden” and “Lucid Dream” in 2025, shown at “Images 2024 and 2005” juried Gallery Exhibition, and received an Honorable Mention for the Pittsburgh Scene Innovation Grant in 2023. She has also shown work in Hudson, NY. Her solo show, “get (it) together: selected works” garnered much attention in the Pittsburgh area.Branda is a member of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Society of Artists.Find out more about Branda here: brandacmaholtz.com@themountainsmedia @hudsonconnectionmag @trixieslist @hudsonvalleymag @hudsonvalleyhappenings @outhudsonny @hudsonvalley.explorer @columbiacountycurrent @visittheberkshires @berkshirestyle @columbiacountynyp @visithudsonny @catskillcrew by @brandapants
