Biography:
K. L. Britton’s art defines the connection and intimacy between artist and subject. Britton’s work explores the depth of the person they represent, capturing in paint an expression of a sitter no photograph can replicate. At the young age of twenty eight Britton has become a premier portrait artist in an extremely short amount of time. Britton’s art is currently housed in private and corporate collections around the world, including the U.S., Canada, and U.K.
K.L. Britton (K. Hu) is an Irish American artist, currently working in beautiful Los Angeles, CA. Britton’s work is influenced by great masters of the past and present, as well as the epic Western artists presented in Scottsdale, Arizona, where Britton was born and raised. Britton studied with Jeremy Lipking, as well as self studying for years. Britton has taught many students, beginning and intermediate, in drawing and painting, and currently teaches online via Artist's Network University
