About the Artist

“Every brushstroke, and drop of paint, is an emotional expression. And it’s this energy, in these paintings, that I share with you.”

Once upon a time, I worked with the big guys, Nestle, Warner Bros. and more—always helping them bring their ideas to life. Until the day it was my turn, and left corporate America. Since 2013, I've been creating unapologetic abstract art and portraits that often include words, marks, and symbols. Most of my work is done in acrylic paint or mixed media because I like the fast dry time when building up my paintings using many layers. These layers reveal the colors beneath, or beside them, in a dance between light and dark, color and contrast. My spicy neurodivergent brain thrives on unpredictability, so my process unfolds intuitively and sometimes out of sequence. Eventually though, these develop into series' of paintings. This blend of flow and spontaneity is how I create art that feels alive and authentic.

Based in Sonoma County, my wife and I are lucky enough to share our home with our rescue dog Ziggy, and Annie, our spirited tortoiseshell cat. If you live nearby, or ever find yourself in Sonoma, I’d love to welcome you to my studio. Make an appointment, stop by, and let’s connect through art.

Breton’s paintings can be found in collections from the U.S. to England, Germany, Switzerland, France, Ireland and more.
