I think I'll always feel more anchored to a rainforest with flowing waterfalls or the otherworldly rhythms of the sea than I ever will be to a city etched with towering high rises and bustling chaos on the streets.
I wrote this in my journal when I was sitting on our back deck, looking out at the perfect place that we called home. In many ways, this is the encapsulation of what I love most about travelling. While there is a lot to be explored and experienced in cities and towns, nothing can rival the limitless beauty and depth of the natural world.
The Global Chapters is, first and foremost, a place for me to remember the experiences I cherish. I do that through art and, more recently, photography and videography. There is something uniquely special about capturing the world as you are experiencing it from your own perspective.
While destinations around the globe might be tourist favourites, no one will experience a place quite like you will—that's how you explore and write your own chapters and where your own story comes together.
These are my Global Chapters, brought to life in pieces of the world and enhanced further through written memories. I hope that, if nothing else, they entertain you and inspire you to expand your own story.

AOTEAROA
In Aotearoa, it's impossible not to be swept up in the bewitching way the world moves. The very landscape lives and breathes a perfect atmosphere of nature and culture. From the smallest leaf to the tallest peak, this is where adventure meets enchantment.
OCEANS
I love being in the water. There is nothing quite like getting to explore an ecosystem that is equally astounding and daunting, nothing in the world like taking in the magic shimmering down around you from the surface, of sharing space with the countless species that call the world's oceans Home.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Hi! I'm Brittany. Welcome to The Global Chapters, my love letter to this wild, wonderful world. Taking inspiration from nature, each collection has been drawn freehand, incorporating cultural symbols of that part of the world and patterns of my own design, interwoven to tell intricate stories in vibrant pieces.
My love of travel takes me to some truly astounding places and towards some of the most remarkable experiences. Whether that is with my partner, family, friends or by myself, travelling and adventuring around the globe is one of the most treasured parts of my life. It feels natural for my work as an artist to begin there.
