Born in Rochester NY, Brian earned a BFA in drawing and photography. Upon graduating he pursued an internship at the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography, volunteering in the library’s rare book department. After hours Brian played drums with the staff of the Visual Studies Workshop, trading rock steady beats for access to VSW’s darkrooms.
Both his photographic work and drawings have been selected for numerous national juried competitions. In 2012 he was selected to participate in the Portfolio Review at Cite Sante Fe and his work was recently purchased for the Martha Bucksbaum and Raymond Learsy Collection at the Granary in Conneticut. He has worked in still and moving image archives for over a decade while pursuing a career in the arts.
