Brian "WARD" is a self-taught contemporary visual artist and entrepreneur from North Philadelphia, PA.

​

With an event planning mother, and a baker for a father, Brian started making balloon animals at children's parties in 2012 to save money for clothes that he wanted. That early ambition led him into a career of creating balloon art for all kinds of events throughout the city of Philadelphia and the surrounding tri-state area.

​

WARD's passion for growth and evolving in life is what guided him to push boundaries with his art. Using "balloons" as his medium/subject, WARD is focused on creating memorable pieces, curating unique experiences and inspiring people to pursue their dreams.

​

WARD had a successful solo exhibition in Philly (just under a year of creating art) with over 400 RSVPs in just a few days after announcing via social media (August, 2024). His focus is to continue developing his skills as a multi-disciplinary artist. WARD practices the exploration of his balloon artistry through visual, conceptual, contemporary, and installation artworks.
