Artist Bio: Bryan Fitzgerald |
|
Bryan studied at Deakin University and completed a Bachelor of Education majoring in painting and drawing. After teaching with the Department of Education for many years, he completed a Graduate Diploma in Interior Design at R.M.I.T. Whilst working as a freelance designer, Bryan continued to pursue his strong interest in painting and drawing. He paints in watercolours, oils and acrylics and explores a broad range of subject matter. Bryan now works as a professional artist and has held five solo exhibitions as well as being involved in many group shows. Bryan grew up in Box Hill North and his early works reflect the urban themes of shop fronts, cityscapes and streetscapes. He later spent significant periods of time in Warnambool and Anglesea, where a love of the coastal theme and landscape was developed. Now based in Melbourne, Bryan continues to explore the regions and states around him in constant search of inspirational subject matter. For the last fifteen years Bryan has taught painting and drawing to adults in regular classes and workshops. Bryan is an award winning artist, and his work is held in private and corporate collections both in Australia and overseas. |
