About

I’m an airbrush artist and software engineer living in Brooklyn, NY, though my story begins in the sun-drenched suburbs of California. My work is rooted in a fascination with memory—those fragments of childhood that remain vivid long after the details blur. Inspired by the unassuming charm of naïve art, I seek to capture something both delicate and profound: the way innocence colors our perception of the world, and how nostalgia transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Using soft, layered shading and an almost tender approach to detail, I create airbrushed scenes that straddle the line between whimsy and longing. A pair of rabbits, suspended in a moment of quiet connection. Characters rendered with an almost cartoonish simplicity, yet brimming with life. My work isn’t about perfection; it’s about the feeling of something remembered—not quite as it was, but as it is now in the hazy glow of recollection.

These images are a language all their own, playful yet deliberate. They speak to the universal longing to return, if only briefly, to the gentle rhythms of childhood: a time when a toy wasn’t just a toy but an entire world, and a quiet backyard could hold infinite possibilities. Through my art, I hope to preserve these ephemeral sensations, to create spaces where viewers can linger, reflect, and perhaps rediscover a piece of their own story.

If you’re interested in a commission, collaboration, or even leasing a piece of my art, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out to me at britneytieuforsyth@gmail.com.
