New Blog & Website!

With the encouragement of my husband, Shane, I created my first blog post on June 24th, 2009. By that time I had already filled my family’s vintage airloom trunk full of personal and emotional drawings. With the beginning of my blog, my creative thinking began to change in a subtle but important way that allowed my work to blossom from it’s cathartic roots of scattered loose paper into collected…

My favorite series to come out of this year has been my adventure partner series.

My husband and I grew up in the same neck of the woods geographically but wouldn’t meet each other until high school. But we’re convinced that had we known each other back in those days, we would’ve been inseparable. The first illustration I did in the adventure series imagines us exploring together in a slightly…

Dumpster Fun – Street Art

  I was invited to Elim Children’s Center to give a little talk about being an artist. We talked about how artists never stop using their imagination, that drawing requires practice, and that when you combine observational drawing with imagination – you get style. They learned how to draw a stylized sleepy cat, a dog, and a pigeon over watercolor. The results were fantastic! I wish you could see…

Capitol Shakespeare Presents: The Comedy Of Errors - Branding by Bree Reetz

I’m excited to share with you the branding I created for Capitol Shakespeare‘s summer play: The Comedy Of Errors. They decided to set the scene for this production in one of my favorite eras, the roaring 1920s. So it was especially fun to dive into that era, bringing a modern look to some really snazzy Art Deco inspiration. If you’re in Bismarck ND, make sure to get yourself to one of their free…
