Brian Kershisnik is an artist. He did not set out to be one, but after a curious childhood of far flung traveling with his geologist father and a mother who provided materials and opportunity, art eventually found him, but not in a serious way before his college studies. After receiving his masters degree from the University of Texas at Austin he pursued his craft with prolific curiosity and rigor. His life has been lovely, tragic and bewildering. His work explores that bewilderment with a mixture of melancholy and whimsy that feels extremely and encouragingly human.
