Brittany is currently based between New York and Florida. She specializes in multi-disciplinary equine and figurative portraiture (painting, photography and drawing), while her conceptual work focuses on the psyche. Bretts Fine Art Photography is available in ‘Prints’. They offer collectors an opportunity to invest in works from across the globe that investigate cultures and landscapes with empathy; recorded in a technique that translates as painterly and has been defined as ‘timeless.’ Her expertise in studio lighting and working directly with horses is available to both private and commercial clients. Bretts work has been exhibited in cities and towns such as Bridgehampton, NY, East Hampton, NY, Greenwich, CT, West Palm Beach, FL, Wellington, FL, New York City and Provence, France.
