I am a storyteller whose goal is to inspire, stimulate, captivate and lift up the Soul. The act of painting is a spiritual and magical act of true Love. My hope is that I can share the energy and passion I put into my work.

Béatrice Lebreton's work is full of vibrant and rich colors and patterns that show the symbolic heritage of our culture. She mixes quilted patterns along with mixed media's such as watercolor, mosaics, paper, and words, creating timeless pieces that portray Goddesshood, love, and strength. Beatrice was born in Tours, France. Her travels took her to different countries in Europe and Africa, and she now resides in Dallas, Texas. She creates pieces with a statement such as her "Love Series", which translates love at different degrees, along with colors, moods, and words.

"Celebrating life in its eternal transformation, embracing change, rediscovering the idea of the “Divine Feminine” and investigating the female psyche are some of the leading motifs in my work.

We are what our stories and cultural beliefs make us. In Western culture woman has often been defined from an overbearing male perspective, I revise these myths in order to pull out new patterns in our consciousness, as women’ s experience cannot be diminished anymore. The new images of the Divine carry more softness, vulnerability and tenderness, as I want to embrace the sensual part of our spiritual nature. My goddesses are personifications of the energies that inform life." The series “Letters From Afar” is about 4 women from different cultures. They use only pictorial symbols as a common language. They share one trait: as Moon Goddesses they are seen as a force of serenity and harmony.

This floor medallion is a celebration of the human spirit and an invitation to spread harmony all over the world. The dove, universal symbol of peace, is in the center (traditional patchwork pattern) and is found again at the four cardinal points in a variation of styles: African, South American, European and Asian. Cultures are also represented by diverse patterns : from top to bottom, Celtic, African (Kuba), Japanese(Seigaiha), Native Indian (Hohokam) and Greek.

I use the rich vocabulary of my blended cultural heritage and I draw my inspiration from the wealth of traditions found in the myths of past societies, especially African Societies. My quest is to weave a visual story through metaphorical use of symbols tying the past to the present. Patterns are part of the traditional quilting language. Here they also make a statement, express visions and add essential information to the meaning. They lead to a narrative to be completed by the viewer, thus creating an ongoing dialogue. The combination of imagery and the written word create visual poetry. Textures and designs let me explore the diverse possibilities of the surface of the canvas or paper.

“Art is important for it commemorates the seasons of the soul, or a special or tragic event in the soul’s journey. Art is not just for oneself, not just a marker of one’s own understanding. I t is also a map for those who follow after us” says Clarissa Pinkola Estés in “Women Who Run With the Wolves”. Painting allows me to express myself spiritually in a way that is open to interpretation , is thought provoking and also fights stereotypes.
