The Bryte Light is a series of works exploring artmaking as a young person. The subjects are people in my life who have influenced me or have had a big effect on my life and the work I do. Using acrylic on canvas gave me the texture and fluidity I wanted and allowed me to be gestural. The immediate nature of the way I work captures a moment and the sitter quickly in the painting.
