Breanna’s fantastical and illustrative style often blends body paint with painted fabric and costume pieces. Her signature style is to blur the lines between what is skin and what is costume or paint. The costume pieces use a mix of hand painted fabric combined with Breanna’s digital designs printed onto fabric. She blends her crisp and clean graphic design sensibilities with vibrant colors to create memorable works of living art that fool the eye.

While living in St. Louis, Breanna worked with theatre and voice classes at the Center of Creative Arts (COCA) to design costumes and prop pieces for performances. She also led the costumes and props department for COCA’s summer children’s musicals, Annie and Once On This Island. Breanna has also taught at the Dallas Theater Center Summerstage theater camps teaching costume and prop workshops. As a former competitive Latin ballroom dancer and Scottish Highland dancer, Breanna brings her experience with movement and functionality to her costume pieces and apparel designs.
