Self and Gaining Ground.jpg

Hi there, I’m so glad you found my little space in the World Wide Web!

I’m Bre, the maker, creator, and motivator behind the hand painted designs of Gaining Ground.

For as long as I can remember, art has always been a part of my life. After graduating college with a degree in psychology, I quickly fell into life’s routines and began a career in the mental health field while doing art as a side gig. After helping others overcome obstacles and achieve their goals, I decided it was time to start working on mine. Fueled by coffee and lots of snacks, I decided to make my side gig my day job while continuing to help others through part-time crisis counseling.

I feel as creators we always strive to do more, make more, and be more. I wanted to embody that idea of growth into my business, hence the literal meaning “Gaining Ground”. I’m always up for new ideas and collaborations, so don’t be shy - say hi!
