Deb Breton is a globally collected abstract expressionist artist living in Northern California, U.S.
I grew up drawing on everything: sketchbooks, notepads, candy wrappers. That passion eventually led to working with incredible names like Warner Brothers and the Dali Museum. But creating for others wasn't making me happy anymore, I wanted to create art that reflected my own ideas. Not long after that epiphany, I left corporate America.
These days, I work out of my home studio using—acrylics, oils, ink, spray paint, you name it. Breaking the rules I once learned in art feels so natural now. But the hardest lesson for me to learn, was how to get out of my own way, trust the process, let go and get in the flow.
Inspiration comes from how I see the world—chaotic, layered, and ever-changing, much like my ADHD mind. I rarely stick to one series or theme, preferring to explore and push boundaries. Somehow, that unpredictability brings a sense of peace. And hopefully that keeps things fresh and interesting so you might want to see what's new!
Whether you are a creator or a collector, I feel art is a reminder for us to honor our authentic selves in a world that often tries to define us or box us in.
