Béatrice
Lebreton

Originally from France and now residing in Harlem, NYC, Lebreton invites viewers to engage with her art on a deeply personal level. Often employing mixed media, her pieces are rich with influences from her diverse multicultural heritage and contemporary events. The intricate use of textiles, fabrics, and beading captivates viewers, drawing them in with a rich tapestry of colors and textures.
A storyteller at heart, Lebreton masterfully intertwines words and images, creating narratives that resonate deeply with the soul. Her art celebrates womanhood across all backgrounds, with a particular focus on women of color. By elevating their everyday realities into vibrant, fantastical artworks, she immortalizes them as symbols of growth and transformation for women everywhere.
