Brian Paulsen, Grand Forks, North Dakota. "Untitled". Watercolor, 1998. Since Brian's earliest memories he was keenly aware of his living spaces, people's differences, and their odors. His grandfather was a sign painter and a muralist. His father was an inventor and builder of houses, cabinets and boats. Because his studio was in the same space as his father's wood and tools for many years, he lived with those smells and noises. Brian's early years became the stocked cabinet of memories that feeds his art today. Brian retired from the University of North Dakota where he taught drawing.
