Britni Mara, is a visual artist living and working in Chicago, IL. She graduated in 2013 from Bradley University with a BFA in Studio Art. She did post-graduate work at the Siena Art Institute in Siena, Italy in 2014 and has been passionately creating fine art ever since. For Britni, manufacturing work that embodies meaning is the purpose of creating. She is truly in love with abstraction and incites thought in her abstract work by altering her mediums. This allows her to dissect thought and provoke conversation, without straying away from her implicit practice of abstraction. Her artwork can be described as a dance between chaos and the controlled movement of paint. Alongside her personal art business, the artist is fiercely focused on creating an abundant resource network for Womxn creatives in Chicago. In the Spring of 2021, Britni opened The Hallway Gallery; an alternative gallery space dedicated to showing Womxn visual artists. Alongside the gallery, Britni has launched The Female Association of Creative Entrepreneurs (F.A.C.E.). The organization’s mission is to create a safe-space for women and non-binary creatives to gather for networking, professional development, collaboration and exhibition opportunities across creative disciplines.
