Brian came to PAFA as a transfer student from the Community College of Philadelphia (CCP). "CCP set me up to succeed at PAFA. The transition from community college to a 4-year art school was challenging, but it has been a great experience so far. While CCP taught me to be direct about my work, PAFA is teaching me to be subtle and beautiful."

Brian's ultimate goal is to make a career as a professional artist. He would like to teach and possibly return to CCP to "repay his debt and help others."
