Bio
American painter and illustrator Brittany Anne Baum, born 1984 in Camden New Jersey, is an artist known for her bold and imaginative paintings of female subjects. She primarily works with oil paints, pastels, markers, and colored pencils from her art studio based in the Philadelphia region.

Brittany is best known for her whimsical portraits of black women, and explores the creation of imaginary subjects in unique compositions, akin to playing with Barbieβs.

Additionally, she was chosen for a public art installation at the Walter Rand Transportation Center in Camden, New Jersey in 2023 and selected for a year long fellowship with Mural Arts Philadelphia in 2024.
