About Bryanna Marie
About Bryanna Marie- Painter, Teacher, Tattooer, Traveler and Whimsy Extraordinaire
Hi there! I’m Bree, an artist based in Tucson, Arizona, and the owner of Kit and Crescent Studios. I’m so happy you’re here!My creative journey started in tattooing, and from there it grew into so many different directions. I fell in love with illustration and storytelling, especially when it came to painting sweet little creatures and whimsical scenes. Before long, my curiosity pulled me toward miniature painting, landscapes, portraits, and eventually classical drawing and painting. I’ve always loved learning new skills and exploring different mediums, and honestly, that’s one of my favorite things about being an artist.Today, I’m proud to jump between styles and mediums, from whimsical illustrations and tiny paintings to traditional drawing and realistic portraiture. Every new challenge keeps my work exciting and reminds me how much there is to discover in the creative world.That love of learning is what inspired me to open Kit and Crescent Studios—a place where artists of all experience levels can try new things, build confidence, meet creative friends, and have fun making art together.When I’m not creating, you’ll usually find me teaching classes, hosting workshops, or planning new artistic adventures. Whether we’re gathering in the studio, painting on location, or traveling for a creative retreat, my goal is always the same: to create a welcoming space where people feel inspired to explore, learn, and enjoy the process.Take a look through my work below to see the many directions my creativity takes me. Thanks for stopping by—I can’t wait to meet you and create something together! Through self-teaching and mentorships -
