About Brittany

B. Stephenson is a multimedia artist creating installations that explore the paradox of human consciousness - our simultaneous belonging to and separation from the natural world.

Her work examines the tension between being (our essential nature) and doing (our human striving). Through experiential pieces, she creates encounters with the space where we are both animal and aware, both nature and apart from it.

Current and ongoing projects include Little Confessions, an interactive card catalog installation collecting anonymous human truths, and Urban Windows, large-scale atmospheric paintings that bring vast landscapes into concrete-dominated spaces.

Stephenson's practice is informed by eight years of professional performance work (2013-2021) at major institutions including the Smithsonian, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Crystal Bridges Museum, and National Gallery of Art. With musical partner Leo Mazow (The Coverlets), she created performances exploring American cultural narratives through the work of artists like Thomas Hart Benton and Edward Hopper.

Raised in a West Texas musical family, she brings both regional authenticity and institutional credibility to her exploration of human connection and our relationship with the natural world.

Based in Dallas, Texas.
