BIOGRAPHY
Bryan Croll has lived most of his life in the eastern suburbs of Sydney apart from a brief four year period spent working in the Hunter valley. It was in the small village of Dungog where his creative side first emerged preparing backdrops for the local dramatic society. Since then was enrolled at East Sydney Tech. while doing a part time Science degree at UNSW and supporting a small family based in the inner city.
Fortunately, during this time he was tutored by Rodney Milgate, one of Australia’s better known artists. Bryan further expanded his art experience with stained glass under Jeffrey Hamilton and relatively recently has been involved with the Pine Street Community group where he was under the tuition of Rebecca Baird for printing and Jane Cavandish for acrylic painting and colour coordination. Again, exploring other artistic frontiers he was recently enrolled in one of the Tom Bass sculpturing courses offered at the Erskinville studios under Wendy Black and Michael Christie.
Bryan joined the Ogburn Studio collective in late 2014 under Marita Ogburn and has exhibited with the Harrington Street Gallery since then.
“Art is one means of intensifying, exploring and expanding one’s life experience. It provides a conceptual panarama to which one would otherwise remain sadly insensitive.”
