About This Collection: "Early Mornings"Bri Custer paints familiar landscapes with tender reverence and an expressive freedom distinctive of her work. Markmaking leads the way as sh e builds a heavily layered surface of oil paint. In the past, her practice was defined by the freedom to explore and paint landscapes en plein air, but with the demands of new motherhood making painting on location less accessible, she finds herself scavenging for landscapes from home. Archived photo references, memories of color and light, and the thin veil of trees in her suburban neighborhood are doing most of the heavy lifting. Studio time is scrounged together between nap times and family support. As with all of Custer’s work, these paintings are personal artifacts of the moments in which they are made. Show more
