Brian Gladue is a self-taught illustrator, painter, and general creative problem-solver who likes to work with bright colors and moody themes...but will mix it up once-in-a-while to keep from being predictable or stale.  His works has been featured in regional art & lifestyle magazines, and as one acerbic critic chimed "his pieces often lack traditionally trained painterly-ness and maybe having too much red."  But people like them, he has done over 100 commissioned works and is represented in some large private collections throughout North America.  Brian has developed an innovative style that blends abstract realism with chaotic/fractal expressionism.  His works make an excellent choice for both large airy spaces as well as cozy inner sanctums.  And he likes to price his artwork so it can be owned and appreciated by a wide range of patrons, from appreciative low-budget folks to snooty (as well as appreciative) financiers.
