Originally from New Hampshire, Brian Emerson moved to Maine to be closer to his future wife. In marrying Colleen Barter, and in spending time with her family, Brian would end up inspired to follow in his artist brother’s footsteps and pursue art more seriously. The Barters, including Colleen’s father, Philip, and brother, Matt, are a prolific and well-regarded artistic family. Brian’s pieces are bold, colorful landscapes and seascapes, created in a style he says was influenced by artists like Georgia O'Keeffe and Maine native Marsden Hartley.
