About
The artist
Brandon, a Goldsboro, NC native, embarked on a transformative journey. From a business degree (Go App State!) and 9-5 job, he craved more.
He sold his town home, his car, and decided to camp for several months in order to disconnect and figure it out.
Asked what he loved, the answer was clear: ART.
Growing up in church, drawing became his sanctuary. Years later, he delved into art schools, Johnston Community College and UNC-Asheville and began to explore the world of art from drawing to painting, pottery to sculpting, theory to art history.
While canvas remains his focus, large-scale murals ignited a passion for public art.
Brandon and his wife, Amy work together to help clients create home decor art and murals throughout North Carolina.
