Hello!
My name is Bri and I have a passion and love for art, painting, nature and tattooing - my work will be displayed on this platform as well as my Instagram (“bricreations._).
I am a local Maryland artist starting out on my own after college. I am currently experimenting with mixed media using watercolor and digital art (Procreate) to convey images that blend visual hybrids of outer space and aquatic environment/wildlife.
