Brian Dowdall (1948-2018) was a Baltimore-based visionary painter whose vibrant
palette came from “the sun, moon, fire, earth, trees and water.” He was selected to be part of the American Visionary Art Museum “What Makes You Smile” exhibition in Baltimore, MD.
Brian described his process as, ”When I paint I use colors and animals and goddess images that are more loving than this world. These ancient energies of creation in animal spirits and the earlier ritual belief systems of the goddess or pagan belief systems are where I find inspiration. People tell me my work makes them happy.”
In addition to pieces at the American Visionary Art Museum, his work is cherished by many private collectors.
This is a great opportunity to own a special painting by Dowdall!
