About the Artist - Breck Rothage

"Using motion and light as my tools, I specialize in the artistry of the California wave."

From the shores of Laguna Beach, fine artist Breck Rothage brings the majesty of the world's most celebrated coastline to fine art collectors on canvases sized all the way up to 16 ft. in width.

Specializing in the artistry of the California wave, works such as Watercolor Wall, Painter’s Stroke, and 716am have inspired collectors of large ocean artwork from all over the world through exhibitions at the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach.

With the talent to pull intense depth and pure color from the environment combined with Breck’s rare technical ability to compose with purely motion and light, the result is a visceral, captivating moment at the shore.

The majority of Breck’s work is created completely in-camera – without any photo-manipulation used in post-production. A rare skillset on the art circuit, making Breck’s creative execution unique. The result is smooth, edge-to-edge, HD color on the highest-quality aluminum available – with the power to transport you to the sea with a glance.

Eleven years at Festival of the Arts in Laguna Beach, Breck not only honed his skills, but learned from collectors around the world what moves them and what special needs they may have — and fulfilled those needs. His artwork has graced the walls of collector’s homes across California and around the globe for over 20 years. Collectors range from corporate executives to medical offices and hospitals, hotels, and vacation homes, as well as the walls of some of the most beautiful homes up and down the California coast.
