Bryan Seymour was born in York, Ontario, in 1956. He became interested in art when he was about six years old, drawing cover art for assignments. While in prison in Ontario on and off between 1974 and 1984, he learned how to silkscreen and to paint with acrylics. Working with acrylics appealed to him because of the quicker drying time, less toxic smell, and versatility. The content of Bryan's work varies with the medium he works with. Also a carver, he finds inspiration in the lighter aspects of life; his paintings are inspired by the more somber aspects of his persona.
