Sculpting with glass for more than two decades, Danish artist Pernille Braun has participated in a large number of exhibitions internationally and has had solo exhibitions in France, USA, Belgium and Denmark. In her work, Pernille investigates aspects of time, place and matter, which with great craftsmanship she explores in the medium of glass. She studied at the The Royal Danish Academy of Art Bornholm and gained a MA from the Royal College of Art in London in 2008. Her work can among others be found in the public collections of Victoria and Albert Museum, London, The Danish Art Foundation, Musee Ariana, Genève, Bornholm Art Museum, Denmark and Design Museum Denmark. 

Pernille is currently based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
