ARTIST BIO

As a young artist, Brittany began her journey with endless trips to museums, with her parents, viewing exhibits or work by great artist, such as Basquiat, Romare Bearden, Van Gogh, Picasso, Frida Kahlo and many more. Witnessing these artists, and what they produced, became the blueprint for her style today. The passion, depth, self-expression and realism in their work inspired her to tell her own story within the work she creates. 

Up and coming artist, Brittany Gill, has been drawing and painting since the age of eight years old. Her first signature drawing was an abstract depiction of The Girl with the Blue Eyes. Brittany soon came to realize that her artistic strength was most prominent when she focused on women as her models. As she matured in her artist profession she began to master the use of acrylic paint to produce her most magnificent paintings. She paints the things that she relates to the most. She paints her reality. Rawness and speaking the truth through her brush strokes are what appeal to her most. 

            As an artist Brittany is able to brilliantly blend colors in her drawing in such a way that brings her paintings alive in vibrant form. She is able to use her colors, in her painting, to draw viewer attention to the eyes of the subject. The eyes of her painting subjects are usually uniquely vibrant in colors that generate numerous intense social conversations. 

            Brittany is twenty-three years old and plans to travel to many countries to celebrate, and embrace, the many artistic cultures of the world. Her professional goal is to one day open her own art gallery to display the artistic work of many prominent artist. 

            Brittany is currently attending The Princeton Academy of Art, located in Princeton, New Jersey. She is studying under the tutorage of trained professional artist, graduates of the Russian Academy of Arts. She is focused on the mastering of oil painting, as she begins her next artist journey into the world of classical art.

As she ventures out from working with acrylics, and now into working with oil paint she tends to draw nearer to vibrant, but mellow, as well as, muted colors. Creating a portrait with the main figure in a vibrant bright color, with a muted/dark background, symbolizes her essence. Her wish is for people to see her work and feel emotion. Whether the emotion is joy, sadness, happiness or melancholy. To her, as an artist, any emotion is valid.
