Amanda Britton is Assistant Professor + the Rebecca Randall Bryan Art Gallery Director at Coastal Carolina University. She earned a BFA in Fibers from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and an MFA in Fabric Design from the University of Georgia. From 2021 to 2025, she led the Textiles and Surface Design department at Kennesaw State University as Assistant Professor and Area Coordinator.
With her art practice and research, she is interested in the perpetuation of relationships between people and the exploration of families, place, narrative and language. Concerned with documentation, preservation and materiality, Britton’s work is unabashedly personal in concept, yet quirky and humorous in delivery. Utilizing unconventional materials including paper, vellum, resin and plexiglass, she makes intricate fabrics, “woven” with a variety of techniques, colors and constructions.
Britton has exhibited across the Southeast, with work at Whitespace, Marcia Wood Gallery, Lyndon House Arts Center, Athica, Westobou, Berry College, Rowe Galleries + the Mint Museum. Her work has been published online at textileartist.org, the red & black, as well as printed in Wilder Roam Magazine.
