About

I'm Britt Newbern, a multimedia creative and naturalist in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

​

Driven by my connection to nature and its connection to the many facets of my life, my creative work aims to capture the childlike sense of wonder and awe I experience every time I step outside.

 

As an environmentalist and outdoor athlete, I recognize the significance nature has on my health and well-being, now more than ever. After a ski accident in 2021 left me with long term post concussion syndrome and a crushing loss of identity I found myself among the trees. spending time outside allowed me to reconnect with who I am at my core and rediscover my passion in life. Access to nature, and the importance of protecting its resources, inspires the moments that I capture - either on the page or through the lens.

 

There was a time when I used art as a form of escapism, to hide from the world around me. Now, I recognize how influential creative expression can be; when capturing the living, breathing landscapes around me, I'm able to gain perspective and clarity. Personal problems become so small, I can't focus on them through the lens I peer through.

 

My art allows me to embrace my reality and appreciate the world I'm living in. I hope my work provides you with the opportunity to find your own connections.
