Brian Hitselberger grew up in rural North Carolina with his two brothers and a dog named Biscuit. From the onset, his parents encouraged Brian and his brothers to make things, draw pictures, read ‘adult’ books and play music. In 2000, Brian moved to New Orleans to attend Tulane University, where he studied expository writing, anthropology, linguistics, and (primarily) studio art. Over the course of his undergraduate education, Brian explored traditional and experimental printmaking, photography and video, bookbinding, sculpture, performance, installation, recorded sound and various methods of painting. Miraculously, he received his BFA in Printmaking from Tulane in 2005.

In June of 2006, Brian relocated to Spartanburg, South Carolina, where he was one of four inaugural Artists-in-Residence at the newly founded HUB-BUB Arts Initiative. Currently, Brian is an MFA candidate in Drawing and Painting at the University of Georgia in Athens. His work has been exhibited throughout the southeast, as well as in a recent exhibition of American lithography at Hard Ground Printmakers in Cape Town, South Africa. His work has also been featured in the publications Locus, Root newspaper, Greenville's The Beat, and online in The Wooster Collective.
