Brian Cameron is a native of the Northwest Oregon Coast who is known for his endless creative quest. A self-taught artist, he is lauded for his adaptability to many mediums. Always searching for a new way to communicate concept and thought, he shifts his focus quickly through choice of medium and/or theme, and is as skilled and comfortable working in the three dimensional realm, with chisel and a block of wood, as with brush and canvas.
Brian tries to translate the vast and contemplative beauty of his beloved home into the visual language of painting.
"The long horizon… the place where sky meets sea and land… that's my world! Space… big skies… solitude… the Northwest coast. I am privileged to wake each day where my eye can travel from Tillamook Rock lighthouse along the horizon line north to Cape Disappointment and North Head lighthouses. Hour by hour the skyscape is infinitely new. The ocean reflects the sky's changing color and light. Through the seasons the dune grasses grow from dead brown to green to golden. A landscape painters dream."
Brian has been painting full time and showing professionally since 1998. His work has been featured in Coastal Living magazine, Open Spaces magazine and on Portland's PDXPOSED television program.
In 2005 he was commissioned to illustrate 'Encounters With Small Creatures By The Sea' written by Phyllis Knutson PHD and has written and illustrated a children's book ' What Woofie Wants'.
While Brian's larger works, offered through brick and mortar galleries, typically celebrate our natural surroundings, from intimate depictions of eggs cupped in their nests to grand vistas of land, sea and sky..... the works represented on this page are his small daily paintings which are most often everyday objects and still lifes.
