My name is Bryant,
I am a contemporary figurative painter living and working out of Fredericksburg, VA.
I received my MFA in Painting with an Anatomy minor from the New York Academy of Art and my BA in Studio Art with an Art History Minor from Centre College.
I have exhibited extensively along the East Coast, including notable venues such as Sugarlift Gallery in New York City and The Miami Oriental as part of Miami Art Week, with Solo Exhibitions at The McColl Center for Art and Innovation (Charlotte, NC, 2024) and Centre College (Danville, KY, 2025).
My work has also been prominently featured in Create Magazine, the MyArtIsReal Podcast, Buzzfeed, The Blue Review, The Wall Street Journal, Thinking With Paper, and This Quarantine Life: A Comic Anthology.
With a strong academic background both as a student and teacher and years of experience, working as a professional artist, my aim is to help you learn the materials, simplify the process, and produce better results, making you a better, more confident artist.
Now, I'm excited to launch my first course: Portraits of Light and Color.
