About

Brittany is a wildlife biologist turned freelance illustrator and fine artist based in a small town in rural Ontario. 

​

    She grew up in the countryside and credits her countless adventures in wild places for inspiring her deep fondness for and strong sense of place within nature. This passion ultimately led her to train as a biologist, obtaining an Honours Degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Guelph in 2011. 

​

    Following this training, Brittany worked as a wildlife biologist for a decade, travelling throughout North America and working with a diverse range of incredible creatures. 

   As exhilarating and rewarding as these experiences were, Brittany yearned to share her passion for nature and wildlife with others.  It is now her hope that through her fine art and illustrative practice she is able to highlight the infinite wonders of the natural world. There are endless natural mysteries to discover and explore, and each unique creature has its own story to tell.

Brittany's debut picture book, 'Rock? Plant? Animal? How Nature Keeps Us Guessing' (Owlkids Books) was the winner of the 2024 Silver Birch Express Award.
