Brian Herrick
I am an artist interested in painting, drawing, and writing. The result is that I am an artist of varied mediums. I am drawn in by the narrative and aesthetics of graphic storytelling, the process of painting, and the everyday practice of drawing. No matter what medium I work in, my work is process based. I look for surprise. I search for the unexpected which will allow me to proceed. I find the balance between chance and choice and argue with them both until the work defines itself. The subject matter that I come back to again and again is nature, and my place in it. Nature is simple and simultaneously complex. What moves me about the natural world is that at first glance it appears static, while in fact it is always in flux.
