Art by Breige


My name is Breige and I’m a Coffs Harbour local artist.

My goal is simple - to remind you that the world is a beautiful and hopeful place. It’s easy to get bogged down in the stress and strain that is the contemporary world. But we don’t need to be.

I am heavily inspired by the ocean meets bush landscapes that are the Coffs Coast. I also can’t get enough of New Zealand and everything magical, whimsical and fantastical.

My small business - Art by Breige - allows me to share with you what I create. From original paintings, custom commissions, murals, and thoughtfully crafted art gifts — all designed to spark curiosity and bring a little magic into everyday life. With a versatile approach and a love for creative challenges, I am able to paint just about anything to suit your vision.

"Disordered" invites the viewer into a sensory explosion, where traditional still-life objects are fractured and reimagined. While the composition suggests a table scene, familiar forms are twisted and broken, flowing into one another with energetic, thick brushstrokes and layered textures. The vibrant, warm colors clash and harmonize simultaneously, creating a sense of "controlled chaos" that is both chaotic and welcoming. This piece is designed to be a centerpiece, offering a dynamic, passionate atmosphere to a room.

‘She Dreams in Gold ‘ is a richly textured, semi-abstract landscape created with bold palette-knife strokes and layered movement. Golds, whites, and cool blues flow across the surface, forming rugged mountains, a turbulent river, and a cascading waterfall that feels both powerful and unrelenting. The heavy texture gives the painting a raw, tactile presence—each ridge of paint catching light and shadow, amplifying the sense of motion.

Perched at the edge of the riverbank is a solitary girl, still and contemplative as the water rushes below. Her quiet figure contrasts with the restless landscape, suggesting a moment of deep thought. A lone tree stands nearby, echoing her isolation while grounding the scene in resilience.

Beneath the surface, the painting explores the tension between chaos and control—the wild, uncontrollable force of nature set against a single, deliberate moment of stillness. The girl’s isolation reflects the experience of being different in the modern world: standing apart, observing rather than conforming, holding one’s ground while everything else rushes past. She embodies a quiet resistance, choosing balance over surrender.

This balance speaks to a deeper sense of feminine power—one rooted not in dominance, but in endurance, intuition, and emotional depth. The struggle is present, etched into the rugged textures and fractured movement of the landscape, yet so is strength. Gold emerges through the turbulence as a symbol of inner worth and resilience, suggesting that even within uncertainty and isolation, there is control, purpose, and the ability to remain whole.

She Dreams in Gold invites the viewer into a private moment of reflection, where strength and vulnerability coexist within a vast, untamed world.

Commissions

  • “I was lucky enough to receive a set of custom designed coasters for my birthday which were created by Breige. The quality and artistry that went into the creation of the set were excellent and I couldn’t recommend Breige enough to anyone looking for a personalised gift for themselves or others.”

    Nick

  • “As soon as I saw this piece of art, I had to own it. It relaxed me, as I could see myself coming home as I looked at it (it’s the view through the ridge on my drive home). It’s now on our wall and i love looking at it. It brings so much joy!”

    Simone

  • “Thank you thank you. Love them. How fabulous do they look?”

    Chrissy

  • “After seeing a small painting on her story i commissioned her to do a large painting - needless to say she understood the assignment. Couldn’t be happier with the finished product.”

    Anthony

  • “I’ve commissioned Breige several times before for custom gifts and she has exceeded expectations every time! Her attention to detail and the amount of care and love that goes into her pieces is phenomenal. My most recent order was a custom duck key rack and matching keyrings. Someone asked if the ducks were stickers due to the amount of detail! Highly recommend!”
