BRIAN MARK TAYLOR
A
young and accomplished landscape painter, Bryan is currently working out
of his Bay Area studio and teaching in the Graduate School at the
Academy of Art University in San Francisco. The West Coast landscape is
an exciting challenge for Bryan who has spent the majority of his career
depicting both the northern provinces of Italy and the Rocky Mountain
region. Since moving to California, Bryan has connected with the plein
air movement and has participated in many plein air events. We
discovered him at Sonoma Plein Air.
Bryan was born in Portland,
Oregon. He received his BA from Brigham Young University in 2001 and his
MFA from the Academy of Art University in 2005.
Bryan won the Emerging
Artist award, 2nd Place at the 2009 Carmel Plein Air Festival, and Best
of Show at the 2010 Laguna Plein Air Invitational.
