About Bree
Brianna "Bree" Cutts's artistic journey began at an early age, fueled by an insatiable curiosity that transcended conventional boundaries. At just four years old, she was already mastering the violin, demonstrating an intuitive grasp of rhythm, composition, and form that would later influence her visual art. By six, she had transformed her bedroom walls into an immersive koala habitat—not merely decorating her space but creating an environmental narrative that foreshadowed her future in visual storytelling.
Growing up in southern California's creative melting pot, Bree absorbed influences that continue to shape her artistic perspective. Weekly excursions to Grand Central Market in downtown Los Angeles with her grandmother became sensory workshops in color, texture, and cultural diversity. Meanwhile, afternoons at the iconic Bronson Caves in Hollywood with her Auntie's eclectic circle of bikers introduced her to the power of unexpected juxtapositions and unconventional beauty—themes that resonate throughout her screen printing work today, where vibrant patterns capture the essence of fascinating individuals on diverse surfaces, from textured wood to fine papers.

Statement
My work is driven by a deep respect for both precision and experimentation. Through screen printing, I create abstract portraits that capture the essence of individuals whose stories and wisdom I find fascinating. Each print represents an ongoing dialogue between structure and spontaneity—carefully constructed patterns layered with vibrant, unexpected color combinations.
I deliberately choose varied surfaces—wood, paper, and repurposed objects—as my canvas, allowing the material itself to become part of each portrait's narrative. This practice of transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary reflects my belief in the power of individuality and perspective. My prints, at once exuberant and calming, invite viewers to discover joy in the layered complexity of human experience and to see beyond the surface into the patterns that connect us all.
