Meet Bret
Master of Romantic, Mystical Oil Paintings
Bret Dealey is a celebrated American oil painter whose works transport viewers to realms of deep feelings and timeless beauty. His canvases imbued with romanticism, nostalgia, and a touch of the mystical, invite contemplation and wonder.
From the age of five, Bret was captivated by the power of art. His precocious talent was recognized early on, culminating in a solo exhibition at eighteen, where his work was acquired by New York City’s Chase Manhattan Bank—a testament to the enduring quality and inherent value of his artistry.
A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (cum laude), Bret honed his technical mastery, laying the foundation for his distinctive style.
A profound healing crisis became the crucible for a transformative period in his life. It forged a powerful awakening of inner perception, amplifying his artistic vision and enhancing the emotional resonance of his work. This experience infused his paintings with a unique intensity and soulfulness, making them more than just beautiful images but windows into a richer reality.
Bret's paintings are coveted by discerning collectors, including leading professionals, business leaders, and public figures. His works have graced prestigious venues such as exclusive home and garden shows, jewelry stores and the Virginia General Assembly. Each piece is a testament to Bret’s dedication and passion, a tangible expression of his unique vision.
Beyond his artistry, Bret also shares his insights through select workshops and coaching, focusing on cultivating creativity and personal growth. Still, his primary passion is to create stunning works of fine art.
Bret resides in Glen Allen, Virginia, with his wife of over thirty years and their loyal canine companion. When not at his easel, he enjoys fitness and drumming and finds inspiration in world travel.
Investing in a Bret Dealey painting is not merely acquiring art; it’s acquiring a piece of history, a portal to emotion, and a legacy to be cherished for generations. Explore the collection and discover the painting that speaks to your soul.
