ABOUT THE ARTIST

A native of Independence, Missouri, Larry Brownley began drawing compulsively at an early age, encouraged by others in his family who practiced various artforms as hobbies.  After earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from Vanderbilt University and a masters degree from the Ohio State University, he followed successful careers as a naval officer and as a college professor - but always continued his interest in art   Moving to the northwest in 1978, he fell  in love with the Puget Sound region and began spending more and more of his time refining his painting skills, consolidating ideas gleaned from art museums around the world and developing a distinctive northwest style that reflects his affinity for the region.  He is now a full-time artist whose works have garnered numerous awards in local and regional exhibits and are included in private and corporate collections throughout Europe, North America and several Pacific Rim nations.  His studio is at 1985 N.E. Madison Road, Poulsbo, Washington 98370 (near Bremerton).  Studio visits are welcomed, by appointment.  Call (360) 692-1793 or  click here to email me.
