Having experienced the power of art and community during challenging times, Bretton believes in paying it forward. She shares her time, knowledge, and enthusiasm for art whenever she can.

As a member of the Junior League of Greenwich and through partnerships with Family Centers and the YWCA, she leads school art programs and painting workshops that give adults and children facing life’s challenges a chance to create, connect, and enjoy some time in the studio.

She also serves on committees at the Bruce Museum and Flinn Art Gallery, supporting initiatives that make the arts more accessible in the community.

Have an idea for a collaboration? She’d love to hear from you.
