LET’S TALK ABOUT ME SOME MORE

 As a traditional painter, Brian has been a regular exhibitor in Boston’s fine art community since 2002 and is a member of  the Oil Painters of America, the Copley Society of Art (CA), and the Rockport Art Association, three of the most prestigious art associations in the United States. His work has been featured on the cover of  Studio Visit, garnered numerous awards, been exhibited in multiple museums, and has been purchased for a variety of private and corporate collections. Experienced in gallery ownership, Brian opened the Canvas Alley Gallery in Reading, Massachusetts in 2004 and in 2015 he and his wife opened Honeyhole in Exeter, New Hampshire, a combination fine art and upcycled antiques gallery. He holds a BFA in illustration from Syracuse University and has completed postgraduate work in design at Montserrat College of Art and in painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. 

Brian’s contemporary  mixed media work is a blend of his disciplines in illustration, design, and painting. His new media work at times adheres to classic painterly techniques, but often manifests as complex mixed media illustrative  compositions, highlighted with text elements, photography, writing, found objects, animation, and similar experimental homogenization.  He  is a member of the National Association of Digital Artists and his work has been seen across a spectrum of print and online media and galleries.

Brian is a Certified welder and enjoys found-metal sculpting, working with wood and cement, and  truffling for pigments for hand-making paints,  stains, and patinas. He moonlights in the yard as a stonemason, landscape gardener, dog wrangler,. He is currently working on his  illustrated novel, Life in the Tree.
