Bryan Collins's Interests
General
I love art for too many reasons to explain and too many more that cannot be explained. I feel awesome when I am in the mountains. I am a believer in the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus and I seek God in everything I do.
I enjoy old Volkswagens, listening to music, playing music, talking about music, my daughter, my wife, my dog, my fish, all kinds of art, (good)tattoos, myths, mysteries, legends, coffee, theology, dreams, weird things, microbrews, wine, snow, going places, and so on.

Grrrrrrrrrr
Heroes
Jesus Christ is the only hero worth having. Everyone else is imperfect and will always fall short.
As an avid hiker and camper, I am truly inspired by God's creations. Nature makes its way into almost everything I create. We have a great variety of trees here in Colorado and I am fascinated with bark and branch formations. We also are blessed with a great diversity in rock types and structures which posses a multitude of colors and textures that I enjoy emulating in my art. You don't have to see many of my paintings to see that I love working with sky. I don't see many sunrises, as I am by all definitions a night-owl, but I make it a point to see sunsets and I don't believe any artist can even pretend to not be inspired by those miraculous displays of color.

Hey Bryan! If you haven't already heard of the artist, Chris Wakefield, then you should go check out his work. www.wakefieldarts.com He's one of my favorite Alaskan artists, but now lives in Arizona.
