RESUME

Brian S. St. John

At an early age Brian began to show a unique interest in logo design and drafting. His explorations continued throughout high school where he became a staff artist at Coronado High School. Soon after completing high school Brian started to exhibit his paintings and drawings at well know artists’ venues e.g., Rio Bravo Gallery (1994), El Paso Art Association (1994), Dolce Vita (1995), The Attic (1996), Galleria Mora (1997), and Carmen Hair Salon (1997). In 1997 St. John became a cofounder of a new artists’ gallery named World art. Levels.

Brian’s career at the Federal Reserve Bank of El Paso began in 1998. It was in 1999 that he requested a transfer to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco where he could seek new opportunities and pursue a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts, major in Graphic Design at the Academy of Art College San Francisco. Brian currently holds a Technical Analyst position at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and continues to excel in his academic career at the Academy of Art University.

During his time in Oakland, St. John has worked on several freelance projects e.g., Humanatek (2002), Clifton Carter (2003), Simplexis Wi-Fi (2004), Urbanet (2004), and Dolores Huerta Foundation (2004). Recently, Brian had an exhibition of new paintings at Rooz Café.

Despite being extremely busy with many projects, St. John has made time to volunteer for Hope Worldwide (2003) when designing a mural for Parker School Elementary in Oakland, California.

Brian hopes to continue his pursuit of fine art and graphic design. Some goals include; working with community leaders to deliver positive change, collaborate with other artists to create exhibitions that serve as catalysts for new movements, writing provocative books, teaching and public speaking.
