Britney is happiest in her light-filled, beachside art studio. It’s where the magic happens.
“Art is where I come to life,” says Britney with a smile. “I am a visual artist, based in the beachside town of Yamba in New South Wales.
“I live in a cosy, light-filled space that doubles as my art studio. But don’t talk to me before I’ve had my morning oat latte, I can’t function without one!
“Lately, my life is a much slower pace as I focus on finding balance and promoting positive mental health. This comes after a period of burnout from building my solo art business.”
For Britney, art has always been ‘the one’.
“Art has always been how I’ve processed the world. It’s less of a decision and more of a return to something natural for me,” she explains.
“I’ve been drawing and creating since I was little. But, as many artists do, I first pursued more ‘practical’ paths.
Eventually I couldn’t ignore the pull towards art any longer.
“I began carving out time for my practice, experimenting and building a body of work. From here, I started sharing it online and that momentum led me to where I am now.
“I’m so proud that art is my full-time job. It’s a combination of studio work, collaborations, commissions, and nurturing my online store. It requires a lot of organisation, devotion and passion.
“I’m still navigating the realm of ‘artrepreneurship’ as I aim for this to be my lasting, sustainable career.”
Her boho art has a distinctly holiday feel to it.
“I think the best way to describe my art is abstract expressionism. Nature is my greatest inspiration. The colours, textures and feelings,” Britney says.
“My own personal spiritual journey has also influenced many of my works. Ultimately, I want each piece to feel both grounded and expansive.
When I begin a new art piece, it starts as a subtle hum in the background of my mind.
“Over time, the synchronicities ramp up and gesture me to pay closer attention to the ideas, motifs, colours or themes that may appear.
“Artworks can simmer away in my mind for month. But once I start putting paint on a canvas, it is an effortless and quite rapid process where I hyper-focus on nothing but the art.”
Big thank you to Britney for showcasing her beautiful boho art with us. Kinda makes us want to take a holiday! You can find Britney’s work on her website, or follow along behind the scenes on her Instagram.
