About Brittnie
Being an artist/writer was a dream I put away in a drawer and forgot about a long time ago. With the support of my soul mate, Chris, my three sons, my brother Billy, and best friend Kesli who never forgot my dream when I did; and the encouragement from thousands of folks on TikTok, I took my dreams out of that drawer and decided to follow my heart. I posted a video in 2022 asking anyone on the internet to please, just look at my artwork; all I wanted was to show my dad this new painting i had made… but since he had died of liver cancer in 2014, I couldn’t. The universe responded with an ocean of words, from strangers across North America, praising my art. Each individual adding life back into a dream, for a person they had never met. This moment inspired me to create this website; but it wasn’t as simple as I thought it would be.
In 2024, I was diagnosed with existential, moral OCD, and C-PTSD. This came as a total shock and honestly, it was a hard pill to swallow. My entire life I had been consumed with the concept of being “perfect”, an unachievable goal; constantly setting myself up to hate me. Through intensive therapy, I am slowly learning to love and understand myself; but the energy it took to do this personal work made posting on social media nearly impossible. So, I stopped making art, stopped writing, and stopped posting my work.
Finally, I feel like mentally I am in a place to start up again. I want to share the deepest, ugliest, most beautifully broken parts of myself with the world once again.
Having Heart Sight isn’t always easy, but it is the most fulling way to experience all the universe has to show us.
