X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Professionally\, Brittany Colip is a stati
 stical programmer with a focus on healthcare quality measures. She enjoys 
 finding patterns and making sense of messy data\, but she also needs an ou
 tlet from looking at the computer screen all day. In addition\, the advanc
 ement of artificial intelligence (A.I.) and technology causes stress and a
 nxiety for her\, because she worries about the impacts it will have on our
  natural world.</p>\n<p>Producing artwork is an outlet for her. Brittany&r
 squo\;s background is primarily in acrylic painting\, and the themes in he
 r paintings are primarily focused on nature and wildlife. She enjoys paint
 ing scenes from photos she has taken of landscapes or animals she has seen
  while running or hiking. She also enjoys plein air painting (i.e.\, &ldqu
 o\;open air&rdquo\;\, or painting a landscape scene outside on-site)\, and
  finds that it is very relaxing to be outside and focused on capturing the
  beauty in the surrounding scenery. She believes in painting nature as-is\
 , even if not perfect (such as that old crooked tree) -- because nature it
 self is beautiful.</p>\n<p>Brittany was born in Tyler\, Texas and now live
 s in Port Republic\, Maryland. She developed an interest in painting and a
 rt thanks to her Aunt Nell\, who introduced her and her other cousins to w
 atercolor painting at a young age. Brittany also admires and draws inspira
 tion from the great western landscape masters such as Albert Bierstadt and
  Thomas Moran\, John J. Audubon (specifically\, his Birds of America)\, te
 levision landscape painting superstar Bob Ross\, and friends and neighbors
  that she enjoys painting and spending &ldquo\;crafternoons&rdquo\; with.<
