Meet Britt Bair
"Color and light are the elements that inspire me most. As an artist I see how the air affects light, creating a glow that brings vibrance and energy into the moment. I take that feeling of light and try to incorporate it into my abstracts.
I have been exploring the world of Abstract Expressionism, with light as the foundation for my process. Painting large abstractions opens my mind, and helps me let go of the exactness of an image- it’s a feeling of freedom I have long sought in my work. With this approach I can experiment more with color, texture and collage while painting with bold strokes and using mark making to add something distinctive into every piece."
