Brian received their B.F.A. in Printmaking and Drawing from MSU Moorhead in 2019. In 2020 they attended the world-renowned Tamarind Institute and are a trained Collaborative Printer and Lithographer. They maintain their studio practice in the forest of northern Minnesota.​​​ Primarily working in printmaking and drawing, their work addresses chronicling, queer love, and migration through revisitation of the pastoral landscapes they were raised in.

​

Their drawings and prints serve as documentation of the queerness present but not always visible in rural communities. Through fragmented landscapes, objects or tokens, and birds and their flocks, the interactions between these forms of wildlife and rural spaces acts as a method to communicate the struggles of love and longing. These places and subjects consider the intimacy and desire present in queer partnerships, and to the lengths - both physical and emotional - that queer people experience in the migration for love and safety.

​

Their work has been acquired by public and private collections including the Minnesota Historical Society, Georgia State University, The Plains Art Museum, The University of Milwaukee, The University of Minnesota, The University of South Dakota,  St. Michael's Printshop (Newfoundland) among others.
