Brian
Floyd, a jack of all trades, has had a lifelong love affair with
art and archaeology. His artwork in on display in a number of
public and private collections.
Floyd's
paintings are done in a variety of mediums from oils and acrylics to
watercolors. His subjects vary from historical paintings, to
portraits and landscapes. He has studied art since childhood and
his influences are Frederic Remington, N.C. Wyeth and Howard Pyle.
Floyd's favorite subjects are landscapes and historical scenes because
of his affection for nature and archaeology.
Floyd's
artifact replications started from an interest in how artifacts were
made. It later became a learning tool for his work in archaeology.
Reproducing prehistoric artifacts teaches about the people who
originally created them and the processes used.
Floyd
currently has artwork permanently on display at the Fernbank Museum of
Natural History in Atlanta, Georgia, the Atkinson County Courthouse in
Pearson, Georgia, the Seasons Exhibit in Indian River County, Florida,
and the Heritage Station Museum in Douglas, Georgia.
His
illustrations have been published in the Florida Anthropologist and
several archaeological reports. In addition to public displays,
Floyd has numerous pieces in private collections throughout the
Southeast.
