Brian Keith Bridgeforth was born in Norfolk, Virginia. When he was a small boy, Brian often got into trouble for drawing weather maps and such on the walls of his house, and always had some sort of art project going in his room. He spent most of his childhood in Norfolk, but relocated to San Diego, CA where he graduated from Point Loma High School. Brian’s career in art started early when he sold his drawings to fellow classmates and teachers while still in High School. Moving back to Norfolk, VA, Brian attended Old Dominion University where he majored and excelled in Art.

Brian has won numerous art contests and awards for his art, and has been featured in newspapers and magazine articles showcasing his work.
After meeting fellow artist, Marie, and airbrushing together, they got married in 1990. Brian and Marie began painting huge works of art on wood panels, the average size being 4’ X 6’ .They were featured in the Virginian-Pilot Newspaper (click on the articles below), who showcased their unique style of both painting on the same works of art together.
