Unable to work a regular job, Brian still paints on occasion. " I consider myself blessed that in spite of the constant discomfort caused by my illness, I still enjoy art. God used the adversity to bring me closer to Him. For that I am truly grateful. I thoroughly enjoy the creative process. I put myself into my paintings so I tend to paint scenes of peaceful places where I want to be. Producing art that other people enjoy provides me with a sense of purpose".
