Nellien Brewer was born in Greytown, KwaZulu-Natal, in 1961. She qualified as a Landscape Architect from the University of Pretoria in 1982. Fine arts, however, always remained her first love, and she completed the BVA degree at UNISA in 2011.
She employs a variety of media in her art making, and she started working extensively with text during 2007. Her work has since become increasingly computer-based as digital drawing facilitates a level of detail impossible to achieve by hand. She continues to experiment with hand-printing methods which complement her exploration of natural complexity.
