About the Artist:

Born in 1943, the eleventh child of an Irish Catholic farm family, Miles O'Bryan grew up in a small town in Southeast Kansas.  It was a long journey from the plains of Kansas to San Francisco where he has made his home the past 25 years. 

Miles has pursued a dedicated spiritual journey.  He continues to practice various forms of meditation, automatic handwriting, psychic channeling and other spiritual practices.  In the last eighteen years he has pursued a career as a visual artist and writer.  Miles' work reflects an intellectual intensity and a deep spiritual curiosity.

As a visual artist, Miles' first exposure to fine art came when he was a student at the University of Notre Dame.  Although he majored in philosophy, he spent a great deal of time in the University art gallery, and was especially inspired by the works of the artist-in-residence, Ivan Mestrovich.
