I am Eddie Bryson, born and raised in Memphis, TN. For the past 10 years, I have primarily focused on creating 2-D paintings and drawings. My roots in the Delta of Mississippi and the Southern values taught to me by my parents inspire my appreciation for creative works focused on love and storytelling. In addition, my fathers drafting work during my childhood steered my adoration of linework and architectural motifs. I dedicate my work to my loving wife and family.

​

I began my formal professional career as a Fifth-Year Emerging Artist at St. Olaf College before working under Judy Onofrio [judyonofrio.com] as a sculpting assistant. Since then, I have taught High School students in both Minnesota and Tennessee, amid my own career, in digital and physical forms of 2-D art.

Artist Statement:

​

My paintings focus on expressing rhythm and empathetic narration. I show stories of my life and my relationship with my family. My visual creations go hand in hand with my developing rap career, continuing similar themes through the musical process. I continue to paint and rap because I believe Art, in both of these forms, holds power to give hope, give understanding of community, and develop self-reflection.​
