A Black Girl and Her… | Coming Soon

Digital Art Collection – Available as Prints Soon!

A hand-drawn digital artwork collection celebrating Black women in their element—embracing hobbies, self-care, and boldly taking up space. This series highlights the beauty, depth, and joy of everyday moments, from quiet reflections to creative pursuits.

 

A Black Girl and Her… showcases the power of Black women existing unapologetically in spaces that bring them peace, passion, and purpose. Each piece in this collection is a tribute to individuality, strength, and the simple joys of life.

Stay tuned for the official release later this year!

MEET THE ARTIST

I'm Brittany, a passionate artist specializing in custom graphite and charcoal portraits. Art is a way to express and capture the world around me, and through my work, I aim to evoke emotion and tell meaningful stories. My style blends fine details and soft shading, with a focus on creating portraits that feel both timeless and intimate. Every line, every stroke, is carefully crafted to bring the personality and essence of each subject to life.

I approach each commission with an open heart and a deep understanding of the power of art. Whether it’s a treasured memory or a special connection, I believe that art is a reflection of the soul.

I’m excited to work with you and bring your vision to life.
