Please join us at Art Alley this Friday, December 2nd from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm to welcome Brad Brisbine. We will have light appetizers, libations, and live music by Darnell Scott.

Brad Brisbine will be displaying his recent landscape oil paintings at Pybus Market’s Art Alley for the month of December. A reception will be held THIS FRIDAY from 5:00 pm- 7:00 pm.
Brad took a class from painter Bob Graves at Wenatchee Valley College in the mid ’70s but focused on his architectural career for the next 25 years before picking up the brush again. Cascade high-lake photography has been a passion of Brad’s since high school, so painting gave him another opportunity to express his love of nature. He is still excited to pull a colorful composition off a blank white canvas and is grateful for the gift of channeling God’s glory.
Using an impressionistic, painterly realism, he paints his emotional connection to a special place and looks for its healing qualities.
Mentors were Rod Weagant and the late Bill Reese. Workshop instructors include Ovanes Berberian, Kathryn Stats, and Calvin Liang.
Brad designed the Apple Blossom Float in 1998 and was the Apple Blossom Festival and Festival of Trees artist in 2008. He has been selected as the official artist for the 2024 National Dahlia Show. Brad has been the Pybus Market Charitable Foundation architect since 2012.
His paintings can also be seen at Pybus’ McGregor Honey, the Pybus Market Concourse, LocalTel Event Center, and the Pybus Huck patio.
Brad most closely relates with the Early California Impressionists (1880-1940), who: “expressed the inherent goodness and the overwhelming majesty of Creation. Art was to be morally edifying, with positive, soul-uplifting imagery. Truth is in nature; the duty of the artist is to reveal this truth. The early California Impressionists adapted aspects of French Impressionism- gray less color, simplified detail, and the idea that light itself is subject matter”.
The show will feature Stehekin, Mission Ridge, Wenatchee Valley, Cascades, Moses Coulee, Montana, and Maui.
