Surrealist Artist on the Salish Coast


Drea is a multi-disciplinary artist who creates from their studio in downtown Port Townsend. Most recently, their work has been taking the form of surrealist paintings and surface pattern design.

Before returning to the Olympic Peninsula, they spent a decade between Austin and Los Angeles where they worked in fashion illustration, styling, costuming, headdress design, performance art, and interior design. Since 2017, they’ve been honing their eye and developing their vision through their profession in luxury artist-made wallpaper. They recently created album artwork for LA-based musician Riley Geare, and designed collections of stained glass and ceramics for Denver-based Golden Day Artworks. Drea’s work is colorful, poetic, inspired by nature, and expressive of the metaphysical.
