Bryce Pettit
“I try to pare each piece down to the minimum necessary to tell the story. When the composition is reduced to only the essentials, the intensity of the movement and impact of the form is pure and direct.” — Bryce Pettit
Bryce Pettit grew up surrounded by nature. His deep love for the world around him, and his desire to create art have always been closely linked. When he entered college, he studied biology and the natural sciences followed by graduate studies in ecology. Eventually, his passion for art became undeniable and he focused full-time on an art career.

Those years of intensive learning gave him the skills to unleash his creativity.
