Brittani Locke
Brittani Locke is a visual artist from Western Maryland. She is an alumna of University of Maryland Baltimore County where she received her BFA in Print Media with a specialty in printmaking. She began her marbling studies over a decade ago with Regina and Dan St John and carries on their methods and legacy. Brittani has made a mark with her hand-marbled silk scarves and paper marbling. Brittani receives commissions for custom work from all over the world for her marbling both on paper and on fabric. Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac fame saw Brittani’s scarves and now owns several. Maybe she’ll use them in an uncoming show! Book publishers, fashion designers, celebrities, and the public alike have embraced her marbled works
Brittani’s marbling can be seen in exhibitions, and she regularly teaches classes around the region at art centers, fairs, and libraries. She continues to push boundaries in marbling techniques through color theory and experimental processes. Brittani enjoys sharing her journey on Instagram where she has built an online artist community of nearly 130,000 followers.
