Brittani has shown widely in solo, 2 person, 3 person, and group shows throughout North America and Japan since 1985 in the mediums of oil paint, pastel, acrylic ink, and photography, in fine art galleries and civic galleries. She has won many awards and been published in North American and Japanese fine art magazines and North American books. Brittani has been with Kurbatoff Art Gallery since 2005.

Brittani`s artwork is inspired by nature, human relationships and interaction with nature, and the intimation of a spiritual presence in nature.
The influence of photography is found in her artwork, mimicking the use of cropping, compression of the middle ground, distortion, and filters. In her process of abstraction, she will emphasize or omit details in order to convey her personal response to the subject.
Brittani draws upon her studies of Asian art and comparative religions, and her travels through North America, Asia, and Europe to inform her artwork. Often, a painting is a tongue in cheek poke at the human condition, with anthropomorphic objects as vehicles of a message. Metaphors are rampant, codified in Brittanis particular symbolism.
