He has exhibited extensively in the US and Europe, and is currently a studio artist at 44AD Art Space. His accolades include VideoMaker Magazine's Hottest and Brightest award winner, finalist for the Hunting Art Prize, Visions International Art Prize, Holburne Museum Portrait Prize, Bath Prize, and nominee for several Dallas Observer Music Awards including best male vocalist, best musician, best singer/songwriter, best pop act, and best album. Broose studied life drawing and painting at the New York Studio School, and holds a BFA in painting from the University of Houston (summa cum laude), and an MFA in painting from the Bath School of Art and Design, UK.
