Bryan Cooperrider

Bryan, the youngest son of an engineer and an artist, has spent his life exploring the space between creativity and craftsmanship. Trained in engineering and design at Stanford University, his work ranges from fine woodworking to playful sculptures and street art created from found and discarded objects. Inspired by the connection between beauty and waste, Bryan transforms everyday materials into pieces that invite curiosity, humor, and reflection. His art celebrates the overlooked while encouraging people to find beauty in unexpected places. Bryan has exhibited throughout Arizona and internationally. He lives with his wife Beth in Flagstaff, where he works from his home studio. An avid cyclist, he often finds inspiration—and materials for his work—while riding his bicycle through the world around him.
