Example of Brian’s Work
About Brian
Brian Cragun discovered his inner artist in 2001. He loves painting on location (plein air), “I take great delight in the rich sensory experience of being on location and seeing the color and light directly. Nothing is as satisfying as capturing that moment forever on canvas.” He also produces larger studio works.
He has studied with award winning plein air artist Marc Hanson, and award winning Kami Polzin of Stillwater. Most recently he has studied with Dick Horrocks of Utah. He has also taken classes from Greg Caron and Susan Hong-Sammons.
