ARTIST: BRITTANY COLEMAN
Brittany Coleman is a visual artist, live painter, and creative wellness facilitator based in Greer, South Carolina. Her multidisciplinary practice spans vibrant original paintings in acrylic, watercolor, and oil, alongside intricate textured art pieces, clay/ceramic pieces, and large-scale public murals.
Grounded in a deep background in clinical mental health, psychology and art therapy, Brittany views the artistic process as a vital instrument for healing, self-discovery, and emotional processing. She believes art therapy offers a transformative channel to articulate complex inner experiences where words fall short, fostering resilience, self-awareness, and profound personal growth. This therapeutic foundation shapes every aspect of her creative practice—from the intuitive layers in her studio works to the inclusive, empowering environments she cultivates for others.
Her dynamic live painting performances capture real-time energy at music festivals, community events, and competitions—including her award-winning performance at the Greenville Art Slam.
As the founder of Embrace by Brittany, she integrates therapeutic principles with artistic exploration, leading immersive workshops, digital courses, and community reflection. Whether painting live on stage, executing public murals, or guiding individuals through expressive creation, Brittany strives to harness the power of art to inspire connection, self-discovery, healing, encouragement and joy.
