I was that quirky kid in school who was always drawing in Math class. At the top of my “corporate career,” I was an artist for notable clients Warner Brothers, and the Dali Museum. But I was not happy with the hustle. So, I left corporate America.
These days you will find me in my studio working with acrylics, oils, ink, and spray paint. My tools are sometimes unlikely things like flowers, branches, and coffee filters. I tend to break the rules that I was taught in art. But the hardest thing for me to learn was how to step out of my own way, and let creativity flow.
My art reflects my scattered mind —inspired by life, nature, the universe and sometimes even the beat of my playlist. It is extremely difficult for me to stay on script—my ADHD ensures that. But I find comfort in creating, and believe art is a reminder for us to honor our authentic selves in a world that often tries to box us in.
Globally collected artist Deb Breton is an abstract expressionist artist living in California, United States. The work isn’t just about the finished piece, it is about the creative journey, the process. It’s about the feelings, and the experiences of her life, which have shaped each brushstroke. She uses many mediums, such as oil, acrylic, pastel, charcoal, pencil, and ink, to create expressive paintings.
“Every brushstroke and splash of paint, is an expression of emotion. And it’s this energy in these paintings, that I share with you.” — Deb
