Brian Andreas is the force behind StoryPeople, but he has a little help from his friends, family and the staff in his studio.

StoryPeople's colorful prints, books and sculpture are inspired by Brian's childhood, and people from all over the world who have shared their stories with him. His childlike style of drawing guides him in incorporating original sayings and personal observations about life into his artwork.

Brian explains, "Our wish is that other people experience this amazing world we live in as full of imagination and possibility and healing. We believe our stories do that....not just StoryPeople stories, but all our stories... It is valuable and right to protect the precious connections between people."
