Welcome Brian Snowden, our newest Stay & Wonder Gallery Artist!

About Brian

“My name is Brian Snowden, and I am an Artist specializing in Abstract Painting. Most of my work consists of a combination of acrylics and oils that I apply to canvas. I use brushes (a wide variety of sizes), palette knives (many shapes) and sponges. I describe my works as Abstract Expressionism.”

“I started painting late in my life. My mother was a gifted painter, but she never pursued art as a career. She painted only for her own self-expression and to share her works with her family. Most of her work was done after I left the home to go to college, so she was not really a direct inspiration for me. However, the paintings I have from my mother have inspired me for decades.”
