He did his undergraduate work at Brandeis University, studying with Paul Georges and later became his assistant. In 1986, Bryan was working with the sculptor Penelope Jencks. She introduced him to George Nick, from whom he received valuable advice. In 1988 and 1996 he received grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Bryan's works have been seen at the Currier Gallery of Art, in Manchester New Hampshire, the First Street Gallery in New York City, the Creiger Dane Gallery, in Boston, the Northern Westchester Art Center in Mount Kisco, The Schoolhouse Gallery in Croton Falls, The Garrison Art Center, the Vogel Gallery in Danbury (CT) and in many private homes throughout the area. He was included in the Refiguring the Figure juried by Helen Cooper, the curator of American Art at Yale University.
