Mixed into this he enjoys landscapes, wildlife, and portraits of mountain men and fur trappers. His interest with military history, primarily aviation, helped give him a foothold in the art business years ago and he continues within this line of work with commissions. Born in 1961 Brian attended Central Art Academy in Cincinnati OH, learning from the work of western artist/illustrator Jackson Grey Storey, affectionately known as "Pop" Storey, and his work and methodology were instilled into his future work. This is Brian's first Out West Show and he is very honored to participate. Please come by room #286 and say hello as Brian and Louise would love to meet you!
