June 8, 2021 – Originally from Memphis, Brannon was discovered during her senior year of high school by a modeling scout in 2014. Her refined look immediately struck a chord with casting directors, and what followed was five years of nonstop modeling and travel. In 2019 a rare break in Paris gave her a moment to decompress and take stock of her life. “I was changing,” she shared on the phone from New York. “I’d started to be moved by certain things and looking closer at my daily life, the people around me, and the state of the world. My priorities began to shift. I was searching for meaning, and I felt driven to advocate for something; that was when I started making art.” It was then that Brannon began to look into a career change, enrolling at SUNY Empire State College that year and working toward becoming a case manager specializing in addiction recovery.
During this time, Brannon also began to paint. The people she was working closely with brought back memories of when she witnessed the struggles of friends and relatives.
