Brittanie Rei Bartlett
With a background in sociology, Brittanie is dedicated to exploring the intersection of identity and emotional healing. As a self-taught artist, she has always used art to express and process her emotions, particularly in relation to her own mental health experiences.
While Brittanie is also a sports enthusiast, having played football and run for Singapore, it is art that has provided her with a sanctuary and way to decompress amid her active lifestyle. This balance between sports and creativity has deepened her understanding of the mind-body connection and its role in emotional well-being.
Passionate about working with children and adolescents, Brittanie is particularly interested in the therapeutic relationship between art, physicality and healing. She believes that guided artistic expression can help individuals explore their emotions, discover inner strengths and achieve emotional balance, and she aims to support people’s mental and emotional growth through this transformative practice.
Work
Echoed Horizons
Mixed media on paper
90 x 175 x 3 cm
(2025)
Echoed Horizons is an exploration of the concept of journeys—physically and symbolically—as reflections of the intricacies of life.
Each layer serves as a visual narrative, capturing the multiple paths we take and the emotions, memories and experiences that accompany them. It aims to represent the intertwining challenges and triumphs we each go through that ultimately shape our identity.
Through this exploration, the work invites viewers to reflect on their own journey, honing in on different aspects of this artwork, recognising the beauty in both the good and bad, the calm and the storm.
The work hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the process and the transformative power of each experience that we journey through, individually as well as collectively. Echoed Horizons serves as a reminder to ourselves that the entirety of our meandering journey is a good thing. We all have our own paths. We are all changing. We are all connected.
