Brian was born in San Diego, California and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. As a child, art seemed to come naturally to Brian and he would spend hours losing himself in the drawings and paintings that would flow from his imagination. He also loved sports and the outdoors and by age thirteen, surfing the Northern California coastline would become a passion of his while continuing his studies in painting, drawing, and art history.

After graduating from San Francisco State University with a BFA, Brian was given an opportunity to lead the college students and young adults of a burgeoning non-denominational church he had been attending while in college. For seven years, Brian led both college and high school students and began to see art as another viable way to convey the gospel of Jesus Christ.

As opporunities in art began to culminate, Brian moved from full time leadership to a vocation of making and exhibiting art. He is currently working on new paintings, and accepting painting commissions as well as orders for prints, while actively exhibiting his work throughout the west coast of the U.S.. Brian lives and works in San Francisco, California.
