Brian started sketching animals at an early age. His high school biology teacher told him that he should get into art because of his detailed drawings. After his tour of duty in Vietnam and Langely, sports shaped his life for the next 8 years. It was until a friend named Danny Hutt, showed Brian his surrealistic art and he instantly became hooked. He was discouraged for awhile because the art instructors wanted him to "loosen up". He experimented and became a self-taught "realistic" artist. After a struggle with certain events in his life keeping him out of his artwork, he connected with Warren Hsiao and the world renowned artist Violet Parkhurst. Taking lessons from Violet Parkhurst enhanced and influenced his art to where it is today.

A Comment from the Artist:
"Most people don't notice a beautiful sunset. They are too busy in their lives to see this beauty and it's a shame. I see the beautiful sunrises, sunsets and the fabulous scenery as the wonderment God has bestowed upon us. He has meant for us to enjoy it, to savor it and I feel I must save it by capturing it on canvas. The gorgeous clouds, sunsets and sunrises gets the creative juices flowing, it energizes me!"
