Allow Yourself to Be

Brea Branche Brea Branche was born and raised in Baltimore, MD, and is currently a senior at Salisbury University. She is pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in art with a track in painting. While Brea initially focused on drawing, she has since expanded her skillset to include painting, as both art forms complement each other in her works. Her main source of inspiration comes from plants and greenery, which is reflected in her thematic focus on growth. She aims to further develop this theme and establish connections with others through her art.

Artist Statement

Throughout my life, I have faced challenges in expressing my feelings and speaking up for myself. However, I have learned and grown over the years, both as an individual and as an artist. This evolution has shown me that change is inevitable and a natural part of life. In my artwork, I convey the theme of growth through the use of greenery and various plant life while also incorporating feelings of nostalgia and serenity through my choice of colors, compositions, lines, patterns and textures. Creating art allows me to be present in the moment and express my true feelings, and I aim to share this sense of calm and tranquility with others through my work.
