Expressive ink-and-watercolour portrait of Pippa the dog

More than a likeness.

Breanna's expressive ink self-portrait
this is me

I’m Breanna, an artist working in loose ink and soft watercolour. I look for the glance, gesture or detail that makes a subject feel like itself.

Right now, Create Joy is focused on custom pet portraits supporting PAWS Across Timiskaming.
