Graphic Artist, Painter, Sculptor

Hi my name is Brittani Taylor

a multitalented artist currently located in MD

I work primarily in Graphic Design, Painting, Sculpting and Interior Design.

My art is inspired by relatable expressions and experiences i’ve gained from living on each coast.

I’m a military brat, in other words, im from everywhere. Born in Virginia in 1992. But raised & influenced by GA, CA, NC, NY, and now the DMV area

I studied Painting, Figure Drawing, Sculpting and Graphic Design at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro where I graduated with a BFA degree in Visual Arts and Art History.

I also studied at NCCU and The Arts Institute of Indianapolis prior to completing my undergrad degree.

I can recall the first moment I knew I wanted to be an artist. 

 

14yr old me was anxiously waiting to give my art presentation in front of the whole class.

The assignment was simple, create a tree with fruit.

Only problem was, I’m incapable of doing simple

My ideas will always be out of the box with
great detail.

So you could imagine my excitement & confusion when the teacher called me to present first!

She always chose her favorite piece and the artist had to be the first presenter. Yikes! 

But this is what I wanted in “the real world”; to be recognized!

So better get used to it right?!

Well here’s the plot twist! The life defining moment. 

I walked to the front, flipped over my orange tree, just to see that my teacher had painted over my oranges with red blobs in efforts to make it a more “traditional” apple tree.

The moment I had waited for was heart breaking and inside I was furious for any other artist this could have happened too.

It was then that I knew I wanted to
be the difference

I wanted to embody confidence in my lifestyle & art.

A confidence that would take up space. One that inspires the people who dare to be different, who dare to go against the grain and create something untraditional.

I wanted to spark conversation and revisit emotions that we often shy away from and those that make us feel so good.
