Welcome to Val Britton: Studio Journal
Thank you for your interest in my work and for joining me here.
I’m a visual artist working with painting, collage, installation, and public art. I plan to share semi-monthly updates about exhibitions, projects, talks, and events as well as what I’m reading, listening to, and looking at.
I’m looking forward to connecting more with my community. Thanks for being here.
About Val Britton
Val Britton creates immersive, collaged works on paper and site-specific installations that explore physical and psychological spaces. Her fragmented, exploded landscapes draw on the language of maps to explore memory, history, and the possibilities of abstraction.
An award winning public artist with permanent commissions at San Francisco International Airport among others, Britton’s work is part of numerous collections, including the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, the Cleveland Clinic Fine Art Collection, de Saisset Museum at Santa Clara University, Facebook Headquarters, the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts at the Legion of Honor San Francisco, Library of Congress, National September 11 Memorial & Museum, New-York Historical Society, New York Public Library Print Collection, and the San Jose Museum of Art.
Britton's work has been shown in over 65 solo and group exhibitions in museums, galleries, art fairs, universities, and non-profit institutions nationally and internationally. She is the recipient of many grants, fellowships, and residencies including a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant and the Fleishhacker Foundation Eureka Fellowship. Born in Livingston, New Jersey, Britton spent 14 years in San Francisco before relocating to the Pacific Northwest, where she now lives and works in Portland, Oregon. She received her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA from California College of Arts and Crafts.
