“The artist has within himself the power to convey the idea of what it means to be human.”
-- Bryce Liston
Bryce Liston believes his first desire to be an artist was formed at a very young age when he would go out with his mother while she painted the Utah landscape. With limited resources Bryce found himself working in the studio and foundry of master sculptor, Edward J. Fraughton. The time Liston spent with Fraughton provided him with a knowledge of anatomy that few painters possess and that understanding brings depth and life to the figures he paints. “In Ed’s studio I learned a lot about art. It’s funny, I learned about painting from a sculptor - I don’t think that’s something that happens everyday.”
