Original Rainbowhand Brian Tepper Drawing on Paper Framed about 20" X 16" Native American

Brian Tepper moved to Carpinteria in 1984, a familiar location to him after spending his childhood vacationing in the area with his family. After getting an Arts degree from Pierce College, he focused on Native American and Plains Indian Pictographic Art. These studies, his exhibitions, and lectures resulted in a European tour during the 1980's. He lectured and exhibited in Germany and Austria, and showed his work in Los Angeles, the Southwest and New York galleries. (The gallery director at the Heard Museum in Pheonix said that his work "Looks like the Jetsons are meeting the Sioux. Brilliant colors!"
In subsequent years his exposure to different cultures and locations directed him to explore a more abstract direction to his paintings. He found great satisfaction and energy in using combinations of paints, plaster, and reclaimed objects. "In this blending of colors and shapes, I am portraying reality as I see it-different adventures, cultures, and emotions - all evolving in an abstract manifestation." He says, "After all, few things are as they appear on the surface."
For several years he has enjoyed being on the Board of Directors for the Santa Barbara Art Association and a member of the Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Community Art Center and Abstract Art Collective.
