Sadee Brekke

Sadee Bee is a 30-year-old, Black, Queer Minneapolis native and self-taught artist with an Associate's Degree in Liberal Arts. Her mediums include but are not limited to, oil painting, digital artwork, and collage. Sadee is drawn to speculative elements, bright contrasting colors, and works that evoke different emotions depending on the viewer. As an advocate for mental health and diagnosed with mental illness herself, Sadee uses art to speak to unique experiences within the margins of living with mental illness. Her art can often be seen as chaotic, dark, or macabre, juxtaposed with bright colors. When living with mental illness, the world around you can always be bright even when darkness takes root in the mind. Art for Sadee Bee is a way of processing these emotions and learning to heal.
