About the Artist

Brian's painting journey started in Laguna Beach, California in 1995. After completing his first Plein Air painting of the magnificent California coast he began capturing on canvas the diverse California landscapes. Within a year he was showing his work at a gallery in Laguna Beach and few years later he began teaching painting classes at the Palos Verdes Art Center in Southern California. In 2003 he moved to the east coast and settled in Newport News, Virginia. He continued teaching at the Peninsula Fine Art Center and CNU's Lifelong Learning Society and in 2007 he led his first international painting workshop in Ireland. He has continued to teach Plein Air painting workshops in Italy, France, Spain and the US. Between 2015 and 2018 he owned Murphy Montgomery Fine Art Gallery in Newport News. Brians painting journey continues today with European Workshops as well as Plein Air Painting events and Art Festivals throughout the United States.
