Bryan began his career figuratively, but now works with both the figurative and abstract. His recent combinations of stone and steel have begun to carry him to a higher dimension in his work.
“My work for years has been focused on creating interesting works of art that deal with social, political, cultural and spiritual issues. In my work, I want the viewer to experience the raw emotions that I experienced in the creative process whether it is stone, steel or cast metal."
During this week long course offering participants will have the opportunity to camp out on the land, eat plant based meals, and learn about the connection between art, nature, and our creativity.
