Koko Brandao Koko Brandao is a native of Aparecida, Sao Paulo, Brazil.  She attended Santa Teresa College in Lorena, Sao Paulo, Brazil to study Arts Education.  Her love of the arts began at a young age, and has flowered into her fine art painting that you see on display here.  She also was a travel agent in Brazil and traveled to many places to enhance her career. Koko and her family moved to the United States in 2001.  Koko soon took acrylic painting classes through a local art guild in Bartow, Florida.  Koko currently displays her work at The Artist Within, located on Kentucky Avenue in Downtown Lakeland.  Koko also attends open sketch figure drawing at Artwerks where she has learned much about color harmony and making her work more inviting. Koko's inspirational paintings are a reflection of her insight of Brazilian life as she has seen it.     "Amsterdam Girls" 15" x 20" Acrylic Painting     "Naked Girl" 24" x 48" Acrylic Painting     "Bouquet" 24" x 30" Acrylic Painting   "Rio Carnival" 24" x 30" Acrylic Painting   "Slum" 18" x 18" Acrylic Painting - SOLD   "Boo-Peep" 38" x 24" Acrylic Painting   "Tulips" 10" x 14" Acrylic Painting   "Line Dancing" 11" x 14" Acrylic Painting   "Between the Colors" 22" x 28" Acrylic Painting   "Playing with Colors" 38" x 48" Acrylic Painting   "Vermelho 1"  12 x 12 Acrylic Painting   "Vermelho 2"  12 x 12 Acrylic Painting   Capoeira  16 x 18 Acrylic Painting   Umbrellas  11 x 14  Acrylic Painting
