Brittani's education in Fine Arts and Japanese Studies at Vancouver's Emily Carr College of Art and Design, Sapporo's Bisen College of Art, and the University of British Columbia led her from a BA, BFA, and MA to PhD studies. Her artistic roots are in drawing, photography, and computer graphics.
Brittani works primarily with pastels, acrylics, and oils. She works in two styles, highly realistic acrylic inks using a technique of stippling and pointillism (taking an average of one hour per square inch to complete), and figurative abstractions in pastels, acrylic paint, and oil paint. Her work has been collected and exhibited ©Brittani Faulkes—Gulf of Georgia Cannery I, pastel by Brittani Faulkes. |
The west coast is an important influence in Brittani's art. Her father, a fisheries biologist, used to bring her to his lab and have her draw detailed images of anything small enough to fit
With regard to what inspires her art, Brittani says, "I am inspired by nature, our human relationship and interaction with nature, and the intimation of a spiritual presence in nature."

Avid explorers, Brittani, her husband and dog, have traveled thousands of miles exploring the backroads of British Columbia. Wherever she goes, sketchbooks and a camera are always ready to record the standout scenery in her travels. Whether realistic or abstract, Brittani's artwork examines the symbiotic relationship between herself and the environment.
