Brea Saladino Weinreb is an American painter; born in Long Island, New York, Brea’s work explores themes relating to community and belonging. Several of her pieces draw from Pride celebrations on Gay Beach in San Francisco, and thus display her interpretation of public performances of gender and sexuality. Weinreb holds a Dual BA in Art Practice and English from the University of California, Berkeley from 2016. In 2021, she was named an Alternative Candidate for a Fulbright Arts Research grant to study painting in Berlin, Germany. Weinreb currently lives between Los Angeles, CA and Albuquerque, NM and has international upcoming exhibitions, including group exhibitions with Steven Zevitas Gallery (Boston, MA).
