Britt Bradford has always been an artist, and a year and a half ago began her academic studies in classical drawing and painting. It has been a dream of hers since studying conceptual art at the University of Colorado at Boulder to revisit her education and learn more traditional techniques and train her eye to capture the natural world in paint. It is both an intellectual pursuit and a passion project to become the best draftswoman and painter she can be, one day painting great American landscapes and elegant figures. Britt is humbled everyday in her studies and is only more and more enthusiastic of how much there is to learn and grow.
