The House was built around art and its stories, which is why it was time (and overdue if you ask some) to feature a painter on one of our covers. We love Indivi Sutton for many reasons, but let’s start with the kind of person she is. Kind is the first word that comes to […]

Brett Barney is no stranger to the arts, being that he has been surrounded by different inspirational artistic figures from an early age, it is no wonder he landed on the path he is currently pursuing. Brett’s parents both took up oil painting when he was about four or five, and he watched them through their individual creative processes. His first major impression of art was something his father did.

Creating beauty with intention has become an art form as we continue to adapt to the fast paced world built around us. For Indivi Sutton, everything is creative, but is done so with a deep connection to the memories in her life and the natural world. From a very young age, she was taught not to just look at color, but how to feel it and connect with it, leaving her with the ability to create visual journeys for her audience. This appreciation for color is easily seen throughout her work and is something that made me pause and absorb. It is simplicity at its finest.
