The Beginning

When Alchemy Disco first started, it didn’t have a name. It was just art that flowed out naturally.

Hi, I’m Brittany — the artist behind Alchemy Disco.

Before 2025, I never considered myself an artist. A writer? Absolutely. A storyteller? Sure. A creative person? If you say so. An artist? Yeah, right!

Somewhere during my teenage years, I started losing touch with my creativity. By my early-to-mid twenties, it had pretty much vanished. I stopped really seeing the world around me and started drifting. I don’t have art from that time, but I do have lessons, memories, and emotions - the material behind everything I create now.

Then came 2021.

The world was still in the throes of the pandemic, and I moved back in with family after my lease ended, hoping to figure out what was next for me. I was back in therapy and going through a major growth phase.

I was working remotely — the new norm during the pandemic. I’d just finished reading Matthew McConaughey’s Greenlights and, with nothing tying me to my hometown, I realized I was tired of drifting.

I decided to check something off my bucket list and celebrate my 26th birthday with a month-long solo road trip — driving up the West Coast Highway from Los Angeles to Seattle. I can’t tell you exactly what I was looking for when I started the trip, but when it came to a close, I knew exactly what I had found — clarity.

The Turning Point

Upon returning home, I knew it was time to achieve a dream I’d held since childhood. It was time for me to move to New York City.

Less than two months later, I stepped out of a yellow cab, two suitcases in tow, standing before my very own NYC apartment.

I only spent a year living there, but it marked the official turning point for me. It was a year of isolation, creativity, sadness, exploration — and the start of my return.

When my lease was up for renewal, I expected a hard decision. But just as easily as I’d chosen to move to NYC, I knew it was time to move home. The decision was easy — I knew it’s what I needed — but it still left me confused.

It was 2022, and the next two and a half years would be a rollercoaster — a chance to grow in ways that would lead me back to myself.

Back home, I stayed committed to the creativity I had reconnected with in NYC — though I kept trying to force things to work. With no immediate success and still feeling unfulfilled, I drifted between projects. In the meantime, I returned to a previous job, gave up alcohol to support my mental health, reconnected with old friends, and became a dog mom.

It felt as though I had returned to my old life as a new person. While familiar and comforting, it was also confusing and painful. How did I end up back here?

The Alchemy

Like every other major decision in my life, the moment I decided to go all in on myself was led by intuition.

I didn’t have a mapped-out plan or any idea what the future would hold, but I had trust in myself, belief in my work, a mountain of faith and hope, and unwavering support and encouragement from my mom. And with that, a girl can do anything.

One moment, I was having an out-of-body experience, watching myself give my notice — and the next, I was pounding my head into my coffee table, trying to figure out what I was doing or even trying to build. I didn’t know much, but here’s what I did know:

  • I wanted to create art and stories that helped make sense of my thoughts, experiences, and emotions.

  • I wanted to inspire, comfort, and encourage others — and create a sense of community.

  • I wanted a place to share my art and thoughts.

  • My astrological chart pointed to being a creative alchemist — someone with a distinct voice and vibe, a whole lot of drive, and a strong desire to connect with others.

  • I wanted to be able to pay bills, travel, and give back with money I made as an artist.

  • I wanted to help others understand themselves, reconnect with their inner light, and learn to dance through the craziness of life.

And thus, Alchemy Disco was born.

The Present + Future

Like me, Alchemy Disco’s point of view, expression, and direction are always evolving. But also like me, it remains grounded in a core set of values: authenticity, creativity, curiosity, freedom, and alignment.

  • Much of Alchemy Disco’s work has lived in the visual world - photography, color, light. And while that remains a core focus, the dream is to expand into experiences that engage all the senses. Future portals hopefully include immersive pop-ups, installations, and whatever else heads our way.

  • Viewing life through the lens of a disco ball reshaped how I understood myself and the world. This is a framework in motion - a way to make sense of chaos, deep emotion, and how the brain processes what we feel but can’t always explain.

  • Alchemy Disco is a living collection of images, stories, paintings, drawings, digital collages, and memory fragments. A place where moments are documented not just by what happened or how it looked, but how it felt.

  • Speaking dreams out loud. Turning thoughts into frequencies. Releasing stuck energy. Removing what no longer serves. Every piece of work is a manifestation, transformation, or a quiet release.

  • Alchemy Disco begins with one voice — mine. But this isn’t a solo act. The long-term dream? To build a revolving dance floor of voices, artists, storytellers, and visionaries. Curated collections. Collaborative creations. Unexpected collisions.

  • A story being written in real time.
