BRITTANY SHELTON
I plan to continue drawing and creating art throughout the rest of my life. I am going to attend a small, traditional art college so I can further my skills as an artist and perhaps work myself to the point where I can make a living by doing something I love. Art will always have an influence on my life. From how I view the world and translate it into my work, to how I live in that world and experience all it has to offer. | |||

CENTURY ART GALLERY - ART SCHOLARSHIP
Art has always been an integral
part of my life. Both of my parents are artistic
and have encouraged me and my sisters to be creative,
also. Working on my art has always been one of my
favorite activities. I find happiness in taking materials
and transforming them into pieces of artwork, watching
the progression from blank page to finished product.
I focus on technique and realism,
translating what I can see and visualize into a workable
medium. Some of my favorite subjects are people.
I have done a lot of portraiture, working not only
to capture a physical likeness, but hopefully to
convey the range of emotions that humans feel. I
also love working with textures such as drawing
the softness of a sweater, the smoothness of skin
or metal, or the roughness of a rusted machine. It
is very gratifying to create a piece of work that
the viewer can gain a sense of feeling or reality
from.
