ABOUT
Hi—I’m Breanna (she/they), an interdisciplinary artist, photographer, and art therapist curious about people, places, and the stories that make them worth noticing. I’m interested in the spark: the people, details, oddities, and unexpected connections that make something feel alive.
With a background in photography, visual art, and art therapy, my work moves between creativity, connection, and exploration. I’m drawn to creative challenges and to 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. I also love creating spaces where other people can explore their own ideas, curiosity, and creativity.
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.
A lot of what I do comes down to timing: being there, paying attention, waiting for something to happen, and recognizing it when it does. I’m drawn to fleeting things—the way light changes, a smile spreads across a face, or a flock of birds suddenly takes off together.
You’ll probably find me doing several things at once: making something, taking pictures, listening to or playing music, wandering somewhere near the water or finding a good view, and dreaming up whatever I want to try or travel to next. I like following a good idea and seeing where it takes me.
