Meet the Artist, Britt Masters

Art has always been my way of communicating what words cannot. As a watercolorist, I’m drawn to the medium’s fluidity and transparency, which mirrors life’s fleeting beauty and unpredictability. Each brushstroke feels like a celebration of light and a connection to the world around me.

My work explores the balance between realism and abstraction, uncovering beauty in untamed landscapes and the human form. I see art as storytelling—a bridge between the seen and the felt. My landscapes honor wild, untouched places, celebrating their beauty while urging preservation. My figurative pieces embrace vulnerability, challenge societal norms, and invite empathy, reminding us of our shared humanity.

The creative process is both discipline and surrender. I plan meticulously but trust watercolor’s unpredictable nature to guide the final work. The journey often feels chaotic, yet the result is a moment of clarity, a story brought to life. Art is my calling, a way of existing in the world that connects and inspires. Painting for me fosters connection—to nature, to one another, and to ourselves—reminding us of the beauty and responsibility we all share.

Watercolor is my voice—soft yet bold, fluid yet precise. Its transparency allows light to shine, creating a dance between control and surrender. This medium’s unpredictability challenges and thrills me, reflecting life’s complexity. Through it, I explore the balance of realism and abstraction, celebrating beauty in its many forms. I hope to elevate watercolor’s status in the art world, sharing its potential to tell stories with depth and nuance.
