what is renaissance in bloom?
At its core, Renaissance in Bloom is about revealing the extraordinary in the everyday. It bridges art, identity, and the natural world—inviting viewers to slow down, look closely, and reconsider what classical beauty can be.
By placing Black, Brown, and Asian figures at the center of a historically exclusive visual tradition, the exhibition becomes not only an artistic offering but an act of reclamation. It resonates with people who value authenticity, hand-crafted work, and stories rooted in intention.
Why It Matters
Expanding the vision (Phase II)
A Lasting contribution
Any surplus funds directly support the exhibition’s long-term impact. By investing in education, digital access, and community programming, sponsors help ensure that Renaissance in Bloom continues to grow to celebrating craftsmanship, cultural presence, and the beauty of the natural world for years to come.
Breanna's full artist background, statement, and history behind the exhibition.
My hope is that the exhibition sparks meaningful conversations about art, identity, preservation, and the human experience. I want it to reach across communities—to art lovers, students, collectors, families, and anyone drawn to nature or classical aesthetics—and offer something genuine, grounding, and inspiring.
Community Impact
- High-quality paper, pens, and colored pencils
- Preserved botanicals, pearls, crystals, and natural adornments
- Fine metals and findings for the jewelry
- Museum-quality frames and glass
- Stone displays and exhibition materials
- Marketing and outreach to help the exhibition reach its audience
- Website rebrand & expansion to offer educational classes/opportunities for Phase II
These resources allow me to create and present the work with the level of detail, craftsmanship, and care the project deserves.
Renaissance in Bloom reimagines classical art through Black, Brown, and Asian representation, reclaiming space in a visual history that has long overlooked these identities. This project is incredibly close to my heart. It reflects years of drawing, studying botanical forms, and searching for ways to honor the communities and stories that shaped me.
The exhibition features original black-and-white ink and colored pencil illustrations of Greek-inspired figures adorned with preserved botanical resin jewelry. Every piece of jewelry is handcrafted from real flowers, pearls, crystals, and natural materials. Each wearable sculpture is displayed beside its illustrated counterpart on stone stands, creating a quiet but powerful dialogue between fine art and adornment. In bringing these elements together, the exhibition celebrates renewal, preservation, and the enduring beauty of cultural presence.
How Support Helps (Phase I)
If sponsorships or donations exceed Phase I production needs, additional funds will be reinvested into programs that extend the exhibition’s mission far beyond the gallery walls.
I plan to develop accessible in-person and online workshops to teach the art of preserved botanical resin jewelry. These programs will make the creative process available to wider audiences, encouraging hands-on learning, curiosity, and connection. This would include publishing and recording equipment, ventilation equipment, and classroom infrastructure equipment.
This would include publishing and recording equipment, ventilation equipment, and classroom infrastructure equipment.
This expanded platform will allow visitors worldwide to explore the artwork, learn techniques, and engage with the project long after the exhibition ends.
