Brittni Strickland is an artist based in Kansas City, working primarily with acrylics and oil pastels on canvas and watercolor paper. 

Brittni was born into a family of talented artists, though none pursued it professionally. From them and with them, she learned an appreciation for art ranging from Van Gogh and Monet to the canvases hung in local coffee shops, from florals to Western scapes. She still carries this with her and now realizes this is the seed for all of her work. 

Brittni currently resides in the Kansas City area (originally from Missouri, she now lives just across the state line) with her husband, two kids and rescue dog, Buttercup. It's here, on the edge of the midwest, where Western prairies meet city life, that she finds her inspiration in the quiet moments of an ordinary life - the rolling grasses of the Flint Hills, dotted with cattle and sunflowers; the golden slant of August light, or the vibrant emerald green of a butter dish against pale butter. Through intuitive layering and blending, she honors these moments, gathering them up, capturing their beauty and letting them linger.
