Having entered the work force as an architectural draftsman at the age of 16, Brian worked part time and full time for numerous architects and engineers over a 14-year period while he completed his Bachelors and Masters degrees of Education with a Fine Arts major from Okanagan College and Brigham Young University. Brian has recently re-immersed himself in the medium of watercolor after retiring from a 37 year teaching career. Brian’s artwork strives to express his deeply rooted love of the Canadian landscape which is a result of having lived in Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario along with his recurrent career related travels across Canada.
 
In his early years Brian illustrated numerous publications and articles. His production of artwork was laid aside during much of his teaching career and has been re-ignited in his current passion for watercolor.
