Rylee Breese

Artist Bio

Rylee Breese (b. 2002) is an American contemporary painter from Covington, Georgia. Her work explores the tension between adulthood and childhood by depicting grown bodies interacting with nostalgic, childlike objects. Rendered in an intentionally oversaturated palette, her paintings blur the line between memory and reality through distorted forms and expressive compositions.
Guided early on by her grandmother, a painter and photographer, Rylee developed a deep appreciation for experimentation and material play. Nostalgia serves as a driving force in her practice, allowing her to revisit personal history while questioning its permanence.
