About

Hi, I’m Bryan Ivan Dart, a multidisciplinary visual artist and instructor based in Houston, Texas. I draw on a lifelong foundation in oil, charcoal, graphite, color pencil, marker, acrylic, watercolor, and mural-based work to create expressive art and to guide students of all ages in drawing, painting, and creative development. I value clear communication, disciplined practice, and a collaborative studio environment that nurtures curiosity and growth.

I specialize in foundational and advanced concepts such as composition, perspective, color theory, value and shading, and personal expression, while pursuing commissioned artwork, mural projects, and illustrated work for publication. I’m committed to helping students build confidence, technical skill, and a personal artistic voice through consistent one-on-one instruction and mentorship.
