Biography

Brittany Burrows is Nomlaki-Wintun/Pomo, born in Chico, CA and moved to San Francisco, CA at age 11. From a young age, Brittany has always been fascinated with art, mostly ballpoint pen drawings.

Brittany is a self-taught artist that specializes in black and white portraits. Her mediums are pencil, charcoal, and graphite. She once took an art class in High School and that’s where she discovered her love for portrait drawing. However, she is open to all art forms and most recently completed a mural in partnership with American Indian Cultural District (AICD) and Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture (FMCAC).

Brittany finds drawing soothing and therapeutic. As soon as she puts her headphones on and blasts her oldies, she’s in her element. Art comes in many forms and whether it be painting, sculpting, or even arranging flowers; Brittany enjoys them all because this allows her to tap into her creative side.

Brittany’s biggest inspiration is her 9-year-old son who encourages her to do more with her artwork as well as her community because they believe in her talent. There is nothing more motivating than her child cheering her on, reminding her to share her work!
