Following your gut is for the brave and consider Rachel Brennecke the bravest. Under the name Bon Jane, the skilled performance artist has created compelling pieces using her skills in photography, directing and filmmaking. With a BFA from the Rietveld Academie in Netherlands, the American born creator now resides and works out of her Brooklyn studio.

She’s even performed with Marina Abramovic in her iconic MoMa exhibition “The Artist is Present”.
