ABOUT THE ARTIST: Brian's work incorporates two of his passions: sports and art.
Brian showed an interest in art at an early age, in particular painting and drawing. He also excelled in sports, playing football and baseball. His first commission was a highly-praised mural for the Widener Memorial School in Philadelphia.
Brian attended Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pa., where he studied art and played football. He graduated with a Bachelor in Fine Arts with a concentration in drawing and painting.
After college, Brian continued to hone his drawing techniques, receiving accolades for much of his work. Among them, a second place finish in 2001 and top honors in 2002 at the Wildwood Civic Association's annual art show and sale in Wildwood, NJ.
While Brian was attending memorabilia shows, he realized he enjoyed collecting images of childhood heroes and memorable moments in athletic history. As a result, he decided to combine his love of sports and art into his work.
Brian is now a commissioned artist, working out of his private studio in Tinton Falls, NJ. His art covers various subject matter, although his main interest remains concentrated in the marriage of sports and drawing.
