Artist Bio
Breana’s practice fixates on crafting ceramic objects as active participants in routine and ritual, as conduits for introspection, and as vessels for personal and cultural narrative. Her work exists as accessories for body and space adorned with surfaces that reflect on the delights and doubts of living. More often than not, she embraces maximalist tendencies indulging in rich layers of texture, color, and imagery with a particular love for dark clay-bodies, contaminated color palettes, and gold accents.
