Brandon Barnette

I have a strong background in Fitness and art. At the age of 17 yrs of age I began selling my artwork. In 1998 I began working for a company Uniglo in Japan designing logos for their children's clothing line. Soon after that I was hired to paint two murals for a home private residence. I performed professionally as a dancer and clown for 25 years in theatre and events. I worked as a personal trainer in New York for five years and as a boxing instructor for 8 years. I love working with people and inspiring them. I love to see people happy and If I can be a part of that process then that is the most fufilling.

I started my van life and traveling in 2017 in San Francisco. I bought a van converted the inside and painted the body. I taught myself about electrical systems, solar panels, wiring, batteries etc and built an electrical system so I could have electricity in my van. I drove cross country in 2015 from East Coast to the West Coast to start my exploration of the West Coast and pursue my passion for art, photography and music. I love traveling to the different beaches and mountain areas. I recently visited Yosemite. I try my best to visit museums and art galleries and art events as much as possible. I mostly enjoy surrealism and abstract art. I have discovered some beautiful book stores here in the Bay area. Some book stores are like entering a completely different realm or world so to speak or going back in time. I am a big movie buff and love going to all the different types of movie theaters that I can find. I watched 'The Greatest Showman" thirteen times in the theater when it first came out. One of my all time favorite movies.
