Brian Major was enrolled into a private school for the arts at a young age, and during his youth spent many hours alone sketching in great detail.

For this New Hampshire teen, having a life was all about mastering still life drawing, and soon shifting his attention to sculpture; where the importance of studying girls contours and proportions would, justifiably, extend beyond the typical young man’s fancy into creative expression, and the emergence of unique and surreal styles that would help drive Brian to grow as an artist.

For most of the next decade Brian devoted himself to his private life, moving across the country to settle into his new Blaine, Washington, home with his lovely new wife, Diane. He also did various commission portraits and sculptures. And in the early 90’s Brian built an art studio behind his house, returning to his roots--drawing in earnest.

About this time, Brian began using color in his work. He first started experimenting with colored pencils, creating the notorious “The Blue Gorilla” among other works. Brian then moved on to watercolors and, after a year of experimenting, acrylics. Meanwhile Brian would also find a calling in teaching art, holding drawing classes in his studio and arousing an important personal mission of inspiring and empowering budding artists.

A deep devotion to the masters of the Renaissance and Baroque period would give rise to several bodies of work including detailed recreations and original plays on classic styles jumping from canvas to mural and beyond.

While Brian’s style and focus have changed with time, his passion for art and his versatility as both a technical and creative artist are unwavering. Brian is fully capable of lending his talents to the vision and direction of a client, or creating very abstract, expressive reflections of his own unique but lovable personality.

Either way, the works he creates are sure to be a timeless treat for the viewer. And sure to set a mood, create passion, and enhance the lives of those who really take the time to look.
