Today we’d like to introduce you to Brittany Davis.
Brittany, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I’ve always been interested in art my whole life. I found that it was one of the few things I was truly passionate about. When I started college at the Fashion Institute of Technology, there was a spark that ignited within me and that’s when I really started taking my artwork even more seriously. At this point in my life now, I got to this stage because of my persistence. Perpetually, I’m a go-getter and due to my driven nature, I’m reluctant to give up and that’s why I’m always finding ways to constantly reach further in life. No matter how hard it is, what it takes, I constantly push myself to reach to the highest level.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
The road to success is never a smooth road. I struggle with inner conflicts. I get so driven and passionate that I push myself a lot that I lose myself in the process. I don’t take step backs and because of it, I don’t allow myself to enjoy each victory that I gain. I always want more. Having this quality is both a blessing and a curse; It’s because I’m like this, its the reason why I accomplished so much, at the same time, it’s why I’m so hard on myself and I’m never satisfied.
We’d love to hear more about your work and what you are currently focused on. What else should we know?
I do art of all sort such as Painting, sculpting, print-making, designing, etc. but my forte is painting. I’m known for creating these crazy, unique ideas in my artwork and I depict it’s storylines in a way that anyone can relate. My art is colorful, filled with fantasy and emotion. It’s as though you’re taking a step into my mind and seeing all the wonders that goes on in my head. As a result of getting so personal with my art, I’m proud of myself that I’m able to reach my supporters on a deeper level. The way they express how they have a particular connection to various pieces of my art shows me that I’m doing something right. It’s my intent to reach people with my life experiences conveyed through my work and it’s because it’s so raw, it sets me apart from others.
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
I’ll take a step back and reveal where it all began. Back when I use to live Trinidad, I’ve had two really great mentors that inspired me to pursue my dreams. They are Ms. Woodroffe, who teaches in my previous school, Holy Faith Convent Penal and my tutor Mr. Ronald Jacob, I aspire to have my work be as good as him since it’s so professionally done. They both always believed in me even when sometimes I didn’t believe in myself. They supported me ever since and always cheer me on on every achievement I get.
