Artist Britt Dalice was born in Denver, Colorado and raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota.  She currently resides in Fargo, North Dakota.  Ever since she was young, she has had a passion for art, and she pursued her education in art at Concordia College and Minnesota State University of Moorhead.

Artist Statement: Britt Dalice
My art is inspired by the beautiful colors I see in the elements of nature.  When I look at trees, I see not only green, but also reds, blues, yellow, oranges, and purples.  My goal is to translate all of these colors onto the canvas in a way that creates a multi-dimensional work for viewers to enjoy both up-close and from a distance.
I begin all of my paintings by applying a thin layer of oil paint to the canvas with a traditional brush.  Painting in only Burnt Sienna (a reddish-brown), I form the entire image.  Following this, I introduce subdued colors to the painting with the brush.  Finally, I take my palette knife and apply a thick layer of pure color to the image allowing the colors to mix directly on the canvas.   
Each time I apply paint to a canvas, it allows me to express how I see the world.  I love sharing the beauty and majesty I see in nature with my audience.
