Jeffrey Brailas

I am a full-time artist with forty years of painting experience whose work has been shown in over sixty exhibitions including five museums in Texas, My work explores myth and figurative mysticism set in remote landscapes based on Big Bend and Latin America. I was born in Houston and my studio is in the historic district. My paintings and interviews have been published in books and magazines and I have given artist talks in galleries in Houston and Austin. My works are in both private and public collections. Please view my new updated website of multiple paintings and exhibition photos on .

Primarily self-taught with university classes in design, art history, and advanced painting. Painting for me is a lifelong endeavor refined by the act of doing, the willingness to experiment, and my interest in art history.
