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.
