Bree Gilliam is a figurative painter from Buffalo, NY. She is the owner and founder of Paintphoria, Buffalo's first paint-throwing studio. Gilliam attended SUNY Buffalo State University, receiving a B.F.A. in painting and a minor in art therapy. In 2023, Gilliam was selected as an artist-in-residence at Hunt Art Gallery. Her work has been featured in several exhibitions around Western NY. As a passionate artist born and raised in Western New York and a loyal Buffalo Bills fan since I could walk, I am honored by the opportunity to help beautify the new stadium of a team and region with a deep personal and communal significance.
