About the Artist

Growing up amongst the Mountains of Colorado, it is easy to see why a common theme in Brian's work is skiing, snowboarding, and other high adventure sports. Being transplanted in Morgantown, WV at the age of 14 he began his drive to work in the visual art field. In high school Brian attended the Governors School for the Arts, as well as participating in many art exhibitions across the state.

Awarded a full scholarship to attend East Tennessee State University in 1998, Brian continued his path in the art field studying graphic design and computer animation. Earning his Bachelors of Science in Design Graphics, Brian completed a thesis involving the production of a short film entitled "Manhattan Legend." The completion of his thesis awarded him the distinction of graduating as an University Honors Scholar at the top of his class.

After graduation in 2002, Brian entered the photography field working with a nationwide photography studio. After nearly three years of taking hundreds of Senior, Group, Sports, and Prom Portraits, he decided the time has come to break away and start his own Graphic Design and Photography Studio.

Brian has since done work with clients such as Turnbull Chiropractic( including photography, graphic design, and web design), and Wisp Ski Resort, (including photography and graphic Design). He has had several photographs published in multiple issues of "The Pro Rider," a magazine for professional snowboard instructors.
