Bryce Cameron Liston, 1965 | Drawings

"As an artist my career is dedicated to the integrity and quality of representational fine art", says a professional artist Bryce Cameron Liston.

"My goal is to regain the traditions of the past along with the standards of craftsmanship and training.

By studying the great artists of the past, we artists of today can once again regain a full command of proficiency to create great works of art…art about life".
