"In many of her
works, veils of clouds and vibrant brush strokes shroud her light source.
Her perspective is dreamlike, with undefined horizons and objects that defy

Pixels
and Paint Collection
This body of
work includes remixed photographs of South East Asia in the
1960's. "I have been printing these digital images on
archival paper and then I have used acrylics, and drawing
materials to emphasize and develop the work. I have been
calling them digital monoprints."
"These
images of the past are of Singapore and Malaysia in the
1960’s. I lived in Singapore for a few years (1996-1999) and
my Dad traveled in Southeast Asia for business at the time
these photos were taken. I have only one that my Dad took;
most of his photos were lost in a fire. This work is made
from photographs (slides) that were given to me by a friend
who found them at a garage sale. Someone was cleaning out
and discarding old travel photos".
"By rescuing
these pictures from extinction, I have found a personally
moving way to describe living away from home.”

Gateway
and Lantern Paintings
Except from
a Review in the San Francisco Chronicle, 2000.
Bryant,
was greatly influenced by her time in Singapore.
It's a culture where many traditions have continued
that were banned in Communist China,'' Bryant said.
"Singapore still puts on spectacular events. The
children walk through the Chinese gardens with paper
lanterns lit from candles within. They have a
luminous and fanciful look. There's delight in the
light.''
This
inner-lit quality has become a primary focus for
Bryant's paintings. In many of her works, veils of
clouds and vibrant brush strokes shroud her light
source. Her perspective is dreamlike, with undefined
horizons and objects that defy gravity.
