| Artist Biography |
Bernard W. Brooks is a second generation artist, his uncle was the first African American art instructor at the Maryland College of Art. This Alexandria, Virginia native conveys his craft through a variety of mediums - watercolors, mixed mediums, and ink sketchings.
His collages are an artistic gumbo of fabric, hand-made papers, paint, metallic mediums and other materials. The quality of his watercolors is cited in "A History of African-American Artists from 1792 to Present," by Romare Bearden and Harry Henderson.
During stints at the Philadelphia College of Art, University of Maryland and Howard University, Bernard honed his art and printmaking techniques, Howard University holds a special place in his heart - he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts there and was the chief medical illustrator for more than 26 years.
Benefactors of his talent extend beyond art lovers. He has mentored more than 60 students and interns over the past twenty years in the art discipline.
His travels are extensive and have greatly influenced his art work, especially those visits to the Caribbean Islands and France.
Brooks' work can be found in many private collections, including those of Maya Angelou, Douglass Wilder (former governor Virginia), the U.S. Supreme Court, and Roy Schneider (former governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands).
Bernard Brooks' art has been featured on national television on "Evening Magazine", Black Entertainment Television News Special, and the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air".
Bernard studied under several notable art icons - Lois Maylou Jones and Romare Bearden. His works continue to be fresh, creative and provocative. |
