b.k.

As a kid, Brian never imagined that making art was going to be what he wanted to do with his life. He was too busy playing house with his friends, running through sprinklers, dancing to ABBA with his mom in their minivan, and telling his family that he wanted to be a “mad scientist” when he grew up.

Brian got his start in photography when he inherited his late grandfather’s film cameras and fell in love. With his fervent passion for art and fashion, he continues to capture the stories he sees around him filled with the people, places, and things he loves.

Brian holds a BFA in Theatre with a Concentration in Acting from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

He is also a published poet and serves as an assistant poetry editor for Hooligan Mag’s Spilled Ink.

Brian is a strong advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion and the exploration of expression, believing that Art is not what we do, but how we do it.
