about Britton Bartlett

Britton Barlett, founder of Canvas Creations

A brush stroke....born the son of an Atlanta builder/developer, Britton Bartlett has been walking construction sites as long as he can remember. He cut his teeth as a carpenter's helper during his teens. At 22, while pursuing an English degree, he joined the Navy and spent 8 years attached to the U. S. Naval Construction Force. Britton has managed construction projects world wide - including runways, aircraft hangers, and base facilities. He led public infrastructure projects in several Caribbean countries as, refugee relief during the invasion of Haiti and again in Kosovo.

In 1999 Britton co-founded a family construction company which, enjoyed explosive success. After publishing numerous homes in national architectural and home magazines, Britton found his niche and left to form Canvas. It was a natural evolution. The desire to build high end, challenging projects, and the desire to be intimately involved in each led to the conviction that only a limited number of projects could be carefully managed at a time. Britton works with a limited number of architects.

"I prefer to be involved with architects whom I truly admire - who have a driving desire to create a work of art each and every time they design. This is a dream come true for me. It is my creative outlet. There is no greater sense of satisfaction than starting where there was nothing (an empty canvas) and spending months of blood, sweat, and tears building something that will last for generations. The opportunity to build a home for someone is the most intimate level of construction. It truly is a privilege."
