Brian GRIMM
1968, USA

Brian Grimm was born in Bastrop, Texas in 1968 and grew up in the small town of Elgin, Texas. His talent was discovered at an early age and the rural farm life was rich with inspiration. After achieving an art degree in 1992, he worked as a graphic designer in Austin. After seven years, he began to pursue a career in fine art.

Outdoor studies are essential in helping to recreate natural lighting and atmosphere. Painting in oil, prepared hardboard allows a firm surface for full expression. Confident, painterly brushwork is a hallmark.
Always seeking artistic excellence, Brian continues to push the boundaries of his vision. He strives to further his approach to color harmony, design and form while remaining true to his distinct expression. Brian makes frequent trips throughout North America for reference and shows .
