Early Years

DeBranne Treu was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan and raised in Southern Illinois, showing an intense interest in the arts during her early years. She started freelancing in grade school, creating cards with graphic design, signs for local stores, menu's (from grade school through high), that combined with taking a wide range of classes, made her very versatile. She continued freelancing many art and design projects for various international companies while becoming accepted in the reputable art gallery in Sagautuck Michigan, Water Street Gallery, all before graduating college. After graduation, she followed her passions in art and design and since then she has sold paintings thru galleries, interior decorators as well as famous private collectors.

Career Work

Though her main focus has been primarily painting, in between paints she does architectural consultation, architectural illustrations, interior decorating, furniture design, fashion and jewelry design, set and costume design, direction, singing, acting, dancing and modeling. She began a major in Illustration but after learning about the "Golden Mean" and relating everything to art, she developed a desire to become educated in many other areas, ranging from fine arts, design & engineering to performing arts.

`atoutZ & Avente Swim

`atoutZ (`a tout - French, everything. Z - English, A to Z). `atoutZ is a collective of cross-disciplinary artists whose talents span art and design. DeBranne began developing the `atoutZ concept in her early years of college. It started with art history classes, learning about the Golden Mean and a scientific method to all visual, which inspired intensive study of all the arts. Attending an event and talk by a couple Italian Artists, with their A to Z, was a subtle inspiration. It wasn’t until studying aboard, in Europe, she noticed amazing art being sold on the street and took it for granted, thinking it would be everywhere. It was then, on her flight back to the US, that she decided to create `atoutZ, a group of passionate and exceptionally talented artists.
In 2009, DeBranne released a new swim line, Avante Swim, available at Cielo’s in Laguna Beach, California, Jigsaw on Melrose in Los Angeles, California and Surf Style in South Beach, Miami, Florida.

Art & Design

"I am an artist, not by choice, but Desire.
Brainstorms flourishing my mind most often, and creativity the release.
Curiosity leads me to study everything from physics to metaphysics.
Constantly researching and trying to evolve my work and myself,..
living my passion, The Arts.”
