Bryan M. Taylor

Bryan Mark Taylor is a painter, lecturer, entrepreneur, and world traveler—a contemporary Renaissance figure whose work and ideas move easily between studio, classroom, and marketplace. He has earned top awards in national and international exhibitions, and his paintings appear regularly in leading art and design publications, including PleinAir, American Art Collector, Fine Art Connoisseur, and ImagineFX. His work resides in private, corporate, and museum collections across the United States, Europe, China, India, South America, and New Zealand.

A sought-after educator, Bryan has taught at the Academy of Art University, Pixar, Sentient Academy, and the Scottsdale Artists’ School, and he has been a featured speaker at the PleinAir Convention, CTNX, Fantastic Arts, Dragonsteel, and Vision X. Extending his influence beyond the canvas, he designed the STRADA Easel—now a favorite among plein air painters worldwide—and co-founded both Sentient Academy and the Vision X global art conference, initiatives that continue to train and inspire artists at scale.

Bryan received his BA from Brigham Young University in 2001 and his MFA from the Academy of Art University in 2005. He lives in Utah with his wife and children.
