Dead Sea Dreaming Print by Brook Lewis + 15"x12"

Inspired by the quiet beauty found in nature’s smallest treasures, the delicate curves and subtle hues evoke the rhythm of the ocean and the stories carried in each tide—an homage to the wonder tucked within the ordinary.

Get to Know the Austin Artist:
My work is a reflection of not only myself, but of my neural environment—an amalgamation of recurring thoughts, emotions, and interests converging into a colorful (an often blue) depiction. 

I approach each new painting with free, sweeping brushstrokes, aiming for a sense of impressionism, yet gradually, uncontrollably, refining them into smoothly blended forms with meticulous detail that only the brush could foresee. It is a beautiful act of defiance that my hands will not bring to life my intended vision. Each painting is a surprise to my conscious mind, no matter how much planning is involved.

Aside from my oil painting practice, I work in the sciences as a chemical formulator, practice Brazilian jiu jitsu, and care for a small zoo of animals at home, just outside of Austin, where I have lived and worked my entire life.
