The Hutchinson Art Center is excited to welcome Wichita artist Brittany Stewart as our featured Front Gallery artist for December and January!

"A Kansas local born and raised in Wichita. I have become a DIY lover, thrifter that found a true inspiration for art 7 years ago. Thrifting furniture, upscaling them to sell or keep for my own use until one day I decided to paint on canvas and there I discovered my passion. 

Art became a gateway for self expression. My purpose as an artist is to explore around the human conditions, how we fit into the rest of the world. Quite frankly what makes us different and unique. We may never have it all figured out, but I’ll continue to stay reflective because I experience uncertainty and certainty within the same energy. 

Within my work I share my love for color, texture and shapes. My pieces are almost always Abstract and figure based. Understanding that our true portraits are much more than what we see with our own eyes.  It’s a much deeper dive into who we are. 

As we sometimes face doubt and scrutiny on a day to day basis I’ve challenged myself to explore mental health, practicing self care with self love."
