McCrane-Kashmere Gardens Neighborhood Library

Brittany Ellis's temporary installation, Books of Flight, was created to inspire children in her home community of Kashmere Gardens.

The piece complements her City of Houston-commissioned mini mural located at Rand Street and Lockwood Drive.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Brittany Ellis is a Houston-born mixed media artist whose work blends painting, embellishments, and sculptural relief to create celestrial, textural narratives. A graduate of the Academy of Art University (BFA, 2021), she uses unconventional materials to explore imagination, memory, clouds, and the expansiveness of space. Her artistic path was shaped by early encouragement from her grandparents and art teacher, Mary Lynn Grimes. Brittany's work has since been featured with West Elm (2019-2024), on The Today Show (2025), and on a Times Square billboard in collaboration with Visual Art Journal (2025). She has exhibited at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, the de Young Museum, and the Art Museum of South Texas. To find out more, please visit www.hollowdolls.com.
