BRITTANY STEWART A Kansas local born and raised in Wichita. I Brittany Stewart have become a DIY lover, thrifter that found a true inspiration for art 7 years ago. Thrifting furniture, upscaling them to sale or keep for my own use until one day I decided to paint on canvas and there I discovered my passion.
Art became a gateway for self-expression. My purpose as an artist is to explore around the human conditions, how we fit into the rest of the world. Quite frankly what makes us different and unique. We may never have it all figured out, but I’ll continue to stay reflective because I experience uncertainty and certainty within the same energy.
Within my work I share my love for color, texture, and shapes. My pieces are almost always Abstract, and figure based. Understanding that our true portraits are vastly than what we see with our own eyes. It’s a much deeper dive into who we are.
As we sometimes face doubt and scrutiny on a day-to-day basis, I’ve challenged myself to explore mental health, practicing self-care with self-love. This series is an extension of a hand, a hug, and a voice for those that are and have faced strenuous obstacles. Simply a reminder to be kind to self as we grow.

TARZIA KHAN My collection H2O, came about from my love of painting water. I grew up painting landscapes in oil. In most of my landscapes, there was water in the foreground. When we lived in Singapore, I started painting cityscapes, and again having the element of water was very important for me. Whether it was wet city streets or a skyline of a city or a famous landmark, I found ways to feature water. To me, water brings so much life and depth to art.
Last summer I embarked on a project to paint people in water. My friends and family graciously volunteered to model for my paintings. Not only did I capture them floating on the surface of a pool or sitting by its edge, I started taking underwater photography. First with my iPhone submerged underwater inside a plastic pouch, and then with a small action camera. I’m fascinated by the reflections and refractions of light in water.
My style of work as an artist is a bit eclectic. I love painting many different subjects in both oil and acrylics. Some of my work is very realistic, while others tend to be more impressionist style, even abstract in nature. H2O is a true representation of my voice as an artist. From people submerged in swimming pools, to gondolas in Venice to sunsets and sunrises over large bodies of water, this collection gives you a glimpse of my favorite things to paint. I hope you enjoy my first ever Art Exhibition, as much as I enjoyed painting every single piece.
