ABOUT BRIAR

Briar West, a visionary fluid artist hailing from Southern California, infuses her work with the essence of the ocean. She embraces the elegance of imperfection and the beauty in chaos. Through her art, she captures the notion that we are all imperfectly perfect, a truth she finds profoundly beautiful.

Briar’s journey into art is as unconventional as her medium. With a background in medical research, her artistic path began as a blend of self-care and curiosity. Lacking traditional supplies, she started experimenting with inks, using materials she had on hand—alcohol, bleach, vodka, even antifreeze. This inventive spirit defines her work to this day, often sourcing supplies from Home Depot, liqour stores, and auto part stores. Briar is known for her dynamic process, sometimes using a leaf blower to swiftly guide alcohol and ink across large canvases, capturing a moment before it fades.

Specializing in customized large-scale art, Briar’s creations are as versatile as they are mesmerizing. Crafted on Yupo paper, her works can be tailored to any size—down to the square inch—and are easily shipped anywhere.
