Brian Kershisnik, based in Utah, is one of my favorite artists of all time! His concepts are largely centered around family, relationships, and religion. I love the stylized way that he portrays the figure, and how the relatively simply facial expressions can hold so much emotion. These are just a few of my favorites, but you can see his other beautiful and touching paintings on his website.
