The Dispatch
Painting has been a part of Brian Edwards life since he was a 9-year-old in Janet Griggs classroom at Northwest Elementary.
From the day his fourth-grade teacher praised his drawing of a random face during a class art project, he was hooked on being creative. It might seem odd that a self-described Davidson County country boy who also loves to hunt and display his taxidermied trophies on his home s walls is passionate about drawing and painting. After all, the art world doesn t have too many camouflage-wearing painters who work at a major tobacco company.
While painting has been a love for most his life, it is not the only love, nor the strongest love he has experienced.
