Bryan Snuffer Art

Bryan began his art career when he was a child when his father mentioned to him that thought he was bound to become a commercial artist while watching Bryan draw one day. That seemed to stick. So it was off with the thoughts of becoming an astronaut and on to becoming an artist. It was, however, many years later that that dream would become reality. Only while in his thirties and after having a wife and several children and a home to look after that Bryan decided it was time to start making that become a vision become a reality. So while armed with a beautiful family he began forging a career that has arrived today as a full time vocation.
