Bryttney-Mischele (She/They) is a surreal expressionist artist using visual, spoken and collaborative expression to showcase Black Excellence through the lens of her own life experiences. She first established Poetic Artistry in May 2020. A lot of the art presents an experience meant to transform modern day fine art. Much of they’re collection measures cultural complexities specifically intended to challenge social injustices. Representation has always been the leading vision when it comes to producing her creations. Bryttney-Mischele’s hope is that her collective creations can further engage our BIPOC community for moments of change; while building confidence within the community. She is dedicated to pursuing her own passions that will in turn uplift the community at large.
Black culture holds something deeper than just traumatic events. Our history has been manipulated to fit into a narrative that doesn’t match the current temperature in society. As a proud Queer Black feminist surreal expressionist artist it is impossible for me to separate my culture from my creations. Considering the disphora of my ancestors, how can one expect me to do so? Going through this process of becoming Bryttney-Mischele, I’ve relearned how to love my mind, trusting it to project both my insecurities and confidence. Because they are one in the same; they can only make me stronger. With every art piece my Black Queerness is realized and shown proudly. In short I do this type of art because it is my history and my truths; they deserve to be seen.
