ABOUT

Hi—I’m Breanna, an interdisciplinary artist, photographer, and art therapist curious about people, places, and the stories that make them worth noticing.

With a background in photography, visual art, and art therapy, my work sits at the intersection of creativity, connection, and exploration. I’m drawn to creative challenges and to the things that don’t always fit neatly into a box. I love getting to know someone’s world, finding their particular rhythm and personality, and figuring out how to bring that feeling to life.

My art therapy background has taught me to approach people and communities with curiosity, empathy, and a willingness to listen. Whether I’m photographing a person, a place, a business, or a celebration—or making art alongside a community—I’m interested in creating work that feels genuine, meaningful, and distinctly its own.

Sometimes that means capturing a vibe. Sometimes it means making something by hand. Sometimes it means creating a space to explore, reflect, connect, or try something new.

I’m interested in the spark: the people, details, stories, and unexpected connections that make something feel alive.
