"After years of trying different brushes, I have found Trekell brushes meet the needs of professional artists with high-quality bristles at an affordable price.
As I've gotten to know the company, I've observed how they take extra care of their customers, put out only quality products, and go the extra mile to serve their vibrant artist community.
I also love their gessoed panels and especially like their smooth eggshell surface texture and absorbency. They even take care to properly treat the backside of their panels which is rare in the art supply world. So whether you are interested in brushes or panels, I highly recommend their products."
A painter, lecturer, entrepreneur, and world traveler Bryan Mark Taylor is a true renaissance man.
As a painter, Bryan has traveled around the globe, carefully observing and capturing what he calls vanishing landscapes, going through rapid changes due to technological, socio-economic, and climate issues.

Bryan has had over 20 successful one-person shows. He has won top awards in national and international shows, including 2nd place in the 2018 ARC Salon and a gold medal at the California Art Club's annual show.
He has been regularly featured in Fine Art Connoisseur, Plein Air, Southwest Art, American Art Collector, Imagine FX and American Artist magazines. Galleries in New York, California, and Utah currently represent Bryan's work, and his paintings are found in private, corporate, and museum collections worldwide.
