A B O U T
WB Brown spent his youth into early adulthood living in the rural deserts of Utah and Arizona. After graduating from college in 1964, "WB" served four years in the Air Force. He then worked in the corporate world for the next twelve years. In 1980 he opened his professional creative studio specializing in product, architectural and nature photography.
Browns range of commercial photographic experience incorporated conceptual creative process, planning, layout, imaging – continuing thru each stage to the pre-press specs and finished publication of corporate promotional materials. Brown was frequently retained to produce these projects in conjunction with the clients creative team.
In WB's prior professional studio, he often designed and painted the backdrops which were used to create specific environments. His photographic expertise, prior to "photoshop", often found him working with locations requiring sophisticated techniques, ie lighting, exposure and composition.These skills transferred smoothly to the computer. Today Brown builds websites instead of sets. However, he still wields a paintbrush and exhibits his paintings.
His 36+ years as an art professional have been spent living among the Plains, Mountains, Deserts and Red Rocks of the American West. Brown's photographs and paintings are collected by private and corporate collectors throughout the US and five foreign countries. His work has been featured in five solo exhibits, numerous group invitational and juried shows, including eight museum shows and auctions.
Brown is the creator and administrator of the New Mexico Artist Directory, a project which encompasses the work of artists throughout New Mexico and directly links from the Directory to the artist's website. Visitors are able to connect directly to the Artist's Studios, Representing Galleries, Exhibiting Venues and Events by Region and Communities.
