Brian

 Mathus

  
   

   Brian is a Dayton-based artist with a lifelong passion for visual expression. His artistic journey began in childhood, inspired by his mother’s drawings and fueled by early experiences at the Charles H. Taylor Arts Center.  A formative period in Portland, OR, included studies at C.E. Mason and the Pacific NW College of Art, where he embraced a vibrant Fauvist approach.
   As a founding member of Rake Art Gallery, Brian’s work garnered recognition, including a visit to China. While family and a decade of service in the Air National Guard took precedence, his creative spirit remained strong. He earned a graphic design degree, further developing his eye for composition and order. He is also the recipient of the “ Artist Oppurtuinty Grant” and a mentor in the “Our Town Grant” through the Nea. Today, his Dayton studio is a hub of artistic exploration, where he focuses on figurative painting and brings a unique perspective to his work
