Hello! I'm Brit

Welcome. I'm so glad you're here. I make art as a way to heal and offer back to my community some gifts for resilience.

The poet Mary Oliver wrote:
and what could be more comforting
than to fold grief
like a blanket—
to fold anger like a blanket;
with neat corners—
to put them into a box of words?

That's what this art is for me — a way to fold the inexplicable and overwhelming into something we can carry with us. I hope it does the same for you.
