Art Assassins came about through my artistic struggles as an independent artist. I recognized a need for artistic collaboration and invited my fellow artists to join me as Art Assassins. Art Assassins leads creative Artistic Workshops around the Charlotte/Gastonia/Belmont area. Art Assassins has the Largest POP-UP interactive Photo booth with Unique customizable Backdrop & Funky Props. The Absurdly Creative Photo Booth Team with Style & Southern Charm: Ninja Photographer Carter Short, Event Mastermind Karyn Dobbie, Carpenter aka "Tha Boss" Jason Henkle, "The Ringleader" Artist/Painter me- Briana Warren. Art Assassins also holds monthly art market style events to broaden the creative awareness of local residents & help build the repertoire of our artists as trusted experts in their field.
Gallery Briana is headquarters for Art Assassins and the collective artwork of yours truly, Briana Warren. I am a full- time artist with over 20 years of experience as a fine artist.
