But you can call me Bry (like the cheese). I am a painter of the natural world and lover of the Great Lakes. I am fortunate to live in the woods and a short walk from beautiful Lake Michigan. This place, and our family cottage in Northern Michigan, are a continuous source of inspiration for my work. I am forever trying to capture the magic of childhood summers spent at the lake. The feeling that anything is possible, that the natural world is good, and that beauty is everywhere.

My work is influenced by modern impressionism with loose brush strokes, a strong sense of light, and vibrant color. I love adding texture through the paint/medium as well as through the use of line, shape, and color. I hope my work reminds you of time spent somewhere you love with people you love. That it calls you to feel free like a child and reminds you that that place will be there for you again.
