About the Artist
Britney Mongold is a native to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Her whimsical artwork reflects a passion for theatrics and humor.
Painting on the small and large scale, indoors and outside, immersive or edible, Britney’s artwork is as versatile as her skillset. Her portfolio includes paintings on canvas, walls, theatrical sets and props, and even a carousel.
Some of her work can be found at Back Home on the Farm in Harrisonburg, VA as she worked and painted there for several years. Her biggest project on the farm was restoring and painting the 30 horse Virginia Carousel with notable figures, settings and flora of the Old Dominion.
While living in Washington, DC, she worked as a scenic charge artist for a few theatrical companies. She found painting the large sets with scenes and faux finishes an enjoyable challenge. This skill segued nicely into painting murals for businesses and children's nurseries.
Don’t forget the Lambcakes! Gatherings of loved ones are not complete without a themed cake baked in an Easter Lamb-shaped pan. Ranging from cute to horrifying, at least they’re tasty!
The name Mumshackles can be attributed to fellow artist Sarah Elizabeth Murphy. "Mumshackles" is a nonsense word adopted as a nickname for Britney during a time of identity crisis. Sarah Murphy's contribution has provided years of enjoyment and whimsy to Britney's existence. Thank you.
