Deb Breton

“With every brush stroke and drop of paint, I’m breathing life into my feelings. It’s this emotional energy in my paintings, that I share with you.”

In a previous life, I collaborated with corporate giants like Warner Brothers and Nestlé, helping bring their visions to life. While rewarding, it left me longing to create art that expressed my own inner world.

Today, I paint bold, layered abstract expressionist works and empowering portraits—often infused with words, marks, and symbols. My spicy neurodivergent brain thrives on unpredictability, so my process unfolds intuitively and “out of sequence,” eventually circling back into cohesive groups of paintings. This blend of flow and spontaneity is how I create art that feels alive and authentic.

Based in beautiful wine country, Sonoma County, CA., USA.


“Art is deeply personal and unique to each of us. It's a way to celebrate our true selves, especially in a world that often pushes us to fit into neat little boxes.”
