in october of last year i met with a medical school admissions advisor, who in so many words told me i “did not have a good chance of getting into medical school” and said “i don’t understand why you’re not pursuing a career in the arts.” she ended this series of comments by asking me, “why do you actually want to be a doctor?”

Paintings by Brian Mashburn

Brian Mashburn is an American artist based in the mountains of North Carolina. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he received a BFA in 2002. Brian’s work depicts urban and industrial landscapes in close proximity to the natural world. Primarily an oil painter, Mashburn uses narrative and meticulous attention to detail to engage the viewer. His landscapes are often both heavy handed and subtle, universally applicable and allegorical. Mashburn’s influences range from everyday observations to his Asian-American heritage. He cites his childhood experience of going to Chinese language school on weekends as the origin for his interest in the painted line as well as his strong work ethic. Moreover, the heavy mists of Appalachia and smog of southeastern China and Hong Kong inform his foggy aesthetic. Brian lives in Asheville, NC.
