About
Britney Symone
Creativity is my most loyal love.
I began drawing as soon as I could hold a pencil, and haven’t looked back since. I’ve spent my entire life dedicated to various creative acts.
Education
I intentionally followed my passions during high school, attending Durham School of the Arts, entering art contests and exhibits, and considering how to make my passion into a long-lasting career.
I earned an Associate in Arts degree before studying Graphic Design at NC State University, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in the subject in 2019.
Art with Purpose
My art journey began in childhood, well before I understood the purpose I’d find in it — one defined by catharsis, turning pain into beauty, and inviting people to see themselves reflected in my work. Through my intuitive multimedia art practice, I aim to honor the immense strength found in softness while directly challenging the stereotype of the infallible, stoic Black woman in America.
How I Do ItBy blending my career in graphic design with my passion for traditional artistry, I create vivid reflections of my experiences with a focus on mental and spiritual wellbeing.
Whether it’s through digital artwork, thoughtful typographic design, photography, or luminous sculptural pieces, I engage in self-discovery and emotional vulnerability by revealing a piece of my inner world to the viewer.
My process of designing, painting, framing, and embellishing digital art with beadwork and other media gives each piece unique physicality and intention. These intricate materials complement the delicate, eclectic, sometimes messy nature of self-reflection and compassion.
My inspiration is found in the vibrancy of Black diasporic cultures, nature's serenity, spirituality's depth, and the gift of emotional tenderness.
