Bio
Born 1974 in Royal Oak, Michigan, Britt’s first exposure and education in art came through his paternal grandfather, fashion illustrator Eugene Snyder. Under his grandfather’s tutelage, Britt began studying anatomy and the human figure from the George Bridgman book the young age of 5. Following his passion for both art and music, Britt went on to study and graduate from the Berklee College of Music with a degree in musical composition and arranging. After returning to visual art with study in California and ultimately an MFA degree in Massachusetts, Britt developed his painting into the personal statement into which it has currently evolved.
