About Esther

Esther Grace Brenner is a writer and impressionist painter with a love for capturing fleeting moments of beauty. As the daughter of a Swiss-American father and a Korean mother, her heritage weaves a quiet harmony into her art. Growing up, she was drawn to poetry, wandered barefoot through nature, and sketched wherever inspiration struck—even on walls. Now studying Classics at Cornell University, she draws awe from the natural world and finds her thoughts enriched by conversations with thoughtful professors. She finds joy in sailing open waters, wandering through museums, and talking with kindred souls who share passions for various pursuits, expression, and understanding. In her writing and her painting, Esther seeks to express the transient moment—to breathe life into the passing and preserve the beloved.
