Brian Peterson
Miami, FL / Santa Ana, CA
Brian Peterson is an artist and humanitarian known for befriending and painting his neighbors experiencing homelessness and using the proceeds of the sales to help them. His work has been featured in BBC’s Amazing Humans and the Huff Post. Peterson’s use of vibrant colors and simplified geometries to capture the essence of the human spirit is what some have called a “contemporary street art” style. He has also painted murals across the United States, most notably his “More Than An Athlete“ mural at the iconic Hollywood and Highland plaza in Los Angeles honoring the late Kobe Bryant winning his Oscar award.
Peterson studied at the Cleveland Institute for Art. His work can be seen gracing the walls of homeless shelters and shopping plazas across the country.
