Britt Fabello

Britt Fabello is an artist living and working in Portland, ME. She completed her BFA at Montserrat College of Art in 2012. Since then, she has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, including during her five-year stint while living abroad in London where her art began to truly take shape from her travels. Fabello’s art practice focuses on subtle textures created as a direct response to her surroundings. With a focus on meditative movements releasing her reflective memories, she works to united the unseen energy created through and around us with the tactile world.

She says “Through the navigation of recent and past memories, my work explores my personal connection to the unique sensations of an environment—the sights, smells, tastes, textures—which guide me in forming a picture of my surroundings. As time passes, a place becomes less distant and foreign. The detailed snapshots of the architecture, landscapes, and people, form the shapes and patterns that connect it all together. By abstracting inspirations gathered on-site, each hand-sewn line puncture through the surface, binds to the core, and intricately weaves through the paper holding the fragments of a place that stays with me. The warm ease that accompanies the familiarity of an environment opens the mind, creating space for deeper healing, connection, and understanding.”
