+ ABOUT BRANDON

Brandon’s career arc stiches together a unique and rich set of experiences. Unlike most artists, his education was focused strongly on the sciences, an interest he still maintains and that influences his art. He graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. After graduating, he completed an internship in Medical Illustration (IUPUI, Indianapolis, Indiana). He eventually decided to pursue a more creative outlet as a graphic designer. Over the next fifteen years he was a graphic and exhibit designer at the Indianapolis Zoo & White River Gardens and later the Indianapolis Children’s Museum (the largest children’s museum in the world).

It wasn’t until 2009 that he learned how to paint in oil. He quickly assimilated the techniques of the Old Masters during his 3 year education at Zoll Studio where he now teaches and works daily in his personal studio space. His art has won numerous awards and hangs in personal collections across the Eastern Seaboard.

He has taught teen art classes for over 9 years and has helped many of his students prepare art portfolios that helped them get into some of the most prestigious art schools such as:

• RISD (Rhode Island School of Design)
• SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design)
• SVA (School of Visual Arts, New York)
• MICA (Maryland Institue College of Art)
• SMFA at Tufts (School of Museum of Fine Arts- Tufts)
• Yale School of Art
• and more...
