Bri Custer investigates perception, memory, and color through the New England Landscape. She received her M.Ed. in Secondary Education (2019) and B.A. in Studio Art with a minor in Psychology (2014) from the University of New Hampshire. Her work has been featured by Hyperallergic, Candyfloss, and on the Create! Magazine blog and can be found at Nahcotta in Portsmouth, NH and Sorelle Gallery in Westport, CT. She is currently based in Concord, New Hampshire with her husband Bryan, young daughter Helen, and their hound-lab mix, Vinny.
Artist statement:
Title: Early Mornings
Bri Custer paints familiar landscapes with tender reverence and an expressive freedom distinctive of her work. Markmaking leads the way as she 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.
