Brenda Hash has a Masters Degree from Louisiana State University, specializing in computer graphics. She worked for Shell Oil Company for nine years developing seismic visualization software.

Mrs. Hash then turned her creativity to being a stay-home mom and rearing her two sons. She began her study of art by taking head and figure drawing courses at The Glassell School of Arts, affiliated with the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. She attributes the turning point in her decision to pursue portraiture to studying with internationally acclaimed artist Daniel Greene.

Since that time, Mrs. Hash has received a steady flow of portrait commissions and has won numerous Best of Show awards for her life-like rendering of the human form. A highlight of Mrs. Hash's artistic career thus far has been the selection of one of her paintings as a finalist in The Portrait Society of America's 2006 Children's Portrait Competition. Her work can be found in many private collections, has been exhibited in galleries across the greater Houston area, and has been published in International Artist magazine.

Mrs. Hash is a member of the Portrait Society of America, The International Association of Pastel Societies, The Sugar Land Area Artists and the Degas Pastel Society in New Orleans. She is also a founding member of the Pastel Society of Southeast Texas.

Mrs. Hash favors a representational style of painting, and her medium of choice is soft pastel.
