Brendan Parker began his artistic journey as a child in Georgia, often sculpting with the materials commonly available at that stage in an artist’s career - legos and cardboard. Once he found the guitar, his brain was turned on in a manner he had not experienced before and he taught himself to play the instrument by ear, learning songs and writing originals. Unable to play his beloved instrument on his 21st birthday because of a severe burn to his hand, he instead focused his attention to a gel painting medium he had recently been inspired by, and created his first painting. Seventeen years later, what initially was a compromise became a compulsion, and from that compulsion has developed a refined habit and successful business. While Brendan still paints regularly, he has begun to dust off some earmarked pet-projects and is developing a luxury home surfacing operation, a materials line, and a series of video training modules supplemented with downloadable and printable materials to compliment his new book for aspiring artists: https://artrepreneursblueprint.com.
“An excellent work of art can truly transform a space, but it is typically the last element to be addressed on a project. Art should, instead, be the first thing chosen for a space, given the impact it can have.

“An excellent work of art can truly transform a space, but it is typically the last element to be addressed on a project. Art should, instead, be the first thing chosen for a space, given the impact it can have. Great art creates a vibe that you can feel when you walk into a room, creating both atmosphere and connection. This is truly where an original work of art’s value proposition lies, in its ability to evoke and create emotional connection. Many artists have something they're trying to say with their work. I do not. I have no pre-meditated ideas or end games. When I step into the studio, I have very little idea where the artistic journey will lead me. For me, the studio has always been a place where I can take my anxiety, pain, and the immenseness of everyday life and alchemize it into something positive, something inspirational, something beautiful. That's why I create. Painting is an outlet that allows me to turn off my mind and get lost in the flow. It is a form of meditation, allowing me to release and let go of things I am holding on to.”
