Britt Dalice was born in Denver, Colorado and raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota.  She currently resides in Moorhead, Minnesota.  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.

 

Her art is inspired by the beautiful colors she sees in the elements of nature.  When she looks at trees, she sees not only green, but also reds, blues, yellows, oranges, and purples.  Her 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.

 

She begins all of her paintings by applying a thin layer of oil paint to the canvas with a traditional brush.  Painting in only Burnt Sienna (a reddish-brown), she forms the entire image.  Following this, she introduces subdued colors to the painting with the brush.  Finally, she takes her palette knife and applies a thick layer of pure color to the image allowing the colors to mix directly on the canvas.

 

Each time she applies paint to a canvas, it allows her to express how she sees the world.  She loves sharing the beauty and majesty she sees in animals and nature with her audience.
