Breyahna Monet Coston, a.k.a. “Breeze”

It Should Be Coo For A Lil Bit

Breeze said, “My body of work delves into the realms of alternative medicine, mental health, and healing through the lens of the inner child. Through my art, I aim to capture the essence of disappearing neighborhoods, corner stores, coffee shops, houses, and natural ecosystems, shedding light on their often overlooked histories and narratives.

Drawing inspiration from my Black and Creek Nation heritage, I incorporate elements of native horticulture and holistic healing practices into my paintings. My exploration of psychedelic mushrooms and their potential benefits for mental health serves as a powerful statement on the limitations of traditional pharmaceutical approaches to depression and addiction.

In a society where access to alternative forms of healing is often restricted, I strive to challenge the status quo and advocate for a more inclusive and diverse approach to wellness. By highlighting the rich tradition of psychedelic plants and their spiritual significance in indigenous cultures, I aim to spark conversations about the potential for holistic healing and personal growth.

Through my art, I invite viewers to reconsider their perceptions of mental health, addiction, and healing, encouraging them to explore new perspectives and possibilities for personal transformation.” 

Hailing from the vibrant cities of Seattle and Tacoma, Breeze has quickly made a name for themselves as a dynamic force in the thriving Pacific Northwest art community. Before fully embracing their passion for art, Breeze honed their keen eye for detail and precision as a skilled barber. Their artistic journey also led them to Yale, where they delved into the complexities of art theory and technique, further enriching their creative repertoire. With a diverse skill set that encompasses mural work, canvas art, and sculpting, Breeze effortlessly transitions between mediums, crafting pieces that are both mesmerizing and one-of-a-kind. Shaped by their formative years at Garfield, a prestigious arts-focused high school in Seattle, Breeze’s artistic vision is deeply influenced by the beauty of the natural world. Their creations exude a sense of awe and reverence for the interconnectedness of all living things, inviting viewers to contemplate the profound mysteries of existence through their art.
