Brett Caplinger is a native Californian artist based in Southern Orange County. Although classically trained, his vision and inspiration have always come from his own influences through life and music. Caplinger paints original works of art utilizing blues music legends, landscapes, and animal characters in amusing situations. He has exhibited in group exhibitions as an award-winning artist throughout California, also his art can be found in private collections. He was also featured in “Art Business News” Art Expo New York – “Meet the Artist”.
The mediums I choose to work with are oils, acrylics, and pastels. Brett Caplinger is a true American artistic and musical hero. His blues music even inspires him to paint while he is playing the blues which he has done to the delight of his fans at the OC Fair. Do not be surprised if he breaks into a solo musical performance and a solo artistic performance all at the same time.
His “Blues Harmonica” can be heard frequently in venues throughout southern California.
“My art is a representation of my love for classic American Blues music, life and animals. I utilize composition, light, and color in capturing another era and time and discovering the meaning behind the music, the hardships, and emotions. Being a Blues Harmonica “Harp” musician for 40 years has truly been the inspiration behind my artwork.”
