Briggs (1935-2015), born in Louisiana, led a prolific and notable career, participating in over 100 exhibitions internationally. His works are in the collections of several institutions, including the Denver Art Museum and the Musuem of Fine Arts in Houston. Briggs attended the University of Southern Louisiana, the University of Houston, and the Colorado Institute of Art, which fostered his natural curiosity and drive to experiment across all fine arts media, including painting, printmaking, sculpture and tapestry. He worked primarily in the Neo-Expressionist style, using warm, bright color palettes, bold gestural strokes and paint heavily applied to canvas.
