Brian left a successful career in advertising to
become a painter. He’s never looked back. The
journey has given him a lifetime of experiences,
travels and memories, not to mention a few accolades
and recognition along the way.
He received
his early training at
The Art Center in Los
Angeles and later at
Atelier LeSueur
in
Minneapolis where he learned the classic, academic
fundamentals as they were taught in Paris a century
ago. He enjoys sharing and passing on these
fundamentals through teaching workshops.
Brian’s work has been
featured in
Fine Art Connoisseur,
Southwest Art and
The Artist's Magazine among others. He has
received many awards for his plein air work and most
recently an
ARC International Salon
award.
He’s a signature member of
the grand daddy of all the plein air groups: the
exclusive
Plein Air Painters of America.
A visual raconteur, he’s known and collected for his
paintings of funk, junk and antiquity.
This native Californian,
who now makes his home in Minnesota, can be found
playing the banjo when not painting.
