“With each painting I allow imagination to take hold in bringing to life art that will transfer beauty to your life.” – Brenda Breck

Brenda Breck, “Art for Life,” is a self-taught artist.

Her art has helped to raise funds for children battling cancer and those with down syndrome and autism as well as money for New Orleans Museum of Art and other non-profits.

Brenda has a vast range of themes and styles working with mixed media and richly created acrylics. The four types of Representational Art are realism, impressionism, idealism and stylization. Brenda’s art encompasses all types of Representational Art. You will see that she uses lots of vibrant color in her work creating elegant, emotional art. To quote Paul Cezanne, “A work of art which didn’t begin in emotions isn’t art.”

Figurative Art can range from very realistic to semi-abstract. In approaching abstract,
Brenda takes a gentle break from realism. You can see this especially in her three-dimensional
art pieces. “I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way –
things I had no words for.” – Georgia O’Keeffe.

Brenda has been commissioned to create unique pieces to enhance the aesthetics in her
clients’ homes or offices.

Over the years, her work as a design consultant has given Brenda the ability to conceptualize
creative that brings a room to life. She is able to bring her artistic talents to the the beneficial
affect art has on the landscape of an interior.

She began developing her artist skills as a licensed esthetician where she trained in Paris,
France and New York with Lancôme cosmetics. Brenda has worked throughout the country
and abroad as a make-up artist for television and film. She was tapped by New York director,
John Thomson, for a PBS movie special “A Bayou Legend” to use her make-up skills to age
the 25-year-old leading lady sixty years. Los Angeles make-up artist, Zoltan Elek, who won
the Academy Award for his work in the movie “Mask” with Cher, trained Brenda for this project.

In 1978, the local ABC affiliate selected Brenda as one of the “Ten Most Successful Single
Women in New Orleans”.

In 2003, Brenda met and married Bob Breck, Chief Meteorologist for Fox 8 at the time and
is still under contract with Fox 8 upon his retirement. Bob is extremely proud of Brenda’s
success as an artist and is wholeheartedly supportive.

With over twenty years of experience in the creative arts, including the advertising industry in
