Spencer Garland is an interdisciplinary artist and educator operating in Portland, OR. Being inspired to pursue film at age 3 out of a deep sense of disenfranchisement and othering, Garland has successfully blended artistic and cultural influences into his work. With a combination of 3D rendering, clothing design, coding, and writing, Garland brings his unique vision of new Black narratives to life. His greatest accomplishment is the formation of his Black art school, BRENDA ARTS.
