​​​Brittany Haynes currently works as a freelance scenic artist to support her career as a fine artist in oil painting and printmaking. She graduated from Boston University with a B.F.A. in Painting, with a Printmaking and Art History minor, and immediately went from her Senior Thesis Exhibition to being included in the 2013 “Young and Emerging” Exhibition at Gallery Seven in Massachusetts. During college she was awarded a Travel Grant to attend the SGCI Printmaking convention in New Orleans and also studied abroad at the La Scuola Internazionale di Grafica in Venice. After graduating she began developing her skills as a scenic artist by working summer stock in the Berkshires and painting ballet backdrops in California. Her talent in this field led to numerous theatrical assignments on both coasts and even work as Art Director for a low budget independent motion picture.

Inspired by Buddhism and the theater, and influenced by John Singer Sargent, Johannes Vermeer and Japanese Zen painting, Brittany endeavors to develop a style that combines impressionistic handling of paint with the detail and depth of classical realism. The compositions in her paintings focus on simplicity and subtly while creating dramatic narrative. Brittany currently lives in Boston, Massachusetts and studies at the Academy of Realist Art. ​
