Honor America's 250th Through Veteran Art

Bryn D. Reynolds is a retired Police SWAT Captain. He also had a 25 yr. concurrent career in the US Army as a Cavalry Scout. He has served several combat deployments to Desert Storm, Iraq & Afghanistan. He has received multiple awards for Valor In Combat, including 2 Bronze Stars w\ 'V' device.

He is now 'armed' with artist's pens, and his unique perspectives of the natural world have transformed from being viewed through night vision goggles to being captured on sketch paper. He utilizes pastel pencils & inks to create scenes that the viewer will enjoy 'visiting' virtually on their walls.

 He is an avid outdoor enthusiast and mountaineer, and his artwork 'draws' heavily from his extensive travels to remote and mountainous regions of the globe. He enjoys bringing this sense of adventure to his custom commissioned drawings of favorite locales, homes, pets, and other loved ones.

 His artworks have been featured on ABC News, The Today Show, and various other Print and TV media outlets.

Chet McDougle is a multi­dis­ci­pli­nary artist based in the Upper Penin­sula of Michi­gan. His current work focuses on creat­ing deeply coded, socially conscious pieces that chal­lenge viewers to confront the diffi­cult subject matter often omitted from our metic­u­lously curated social media spaces. These pieces stitch together disparate histor­i­cal, cultural, and liter­ary symbol­ism to create cohe­sive concep­tual works that comment on contem­po­rary societal issues. 

Chet received his BS in wood­work­ing and furni­ture design from the School of Art and Design at North­ern Michi­gan Univer­sity.

I am an Army retiree with service during the Cold War along the East German and Czechoslovakia borders; Operation Desert Storm; Operation Joint Guard (Bosnia); and Operation Iraqi Freedom II (2004-2005). As far as photography is concerned, I consider myself a generalist. I don't have any certain specialty.

I am a self taught artist, started at age 5 years. Now I am turning 80. I have worked in all mediums but now am working in pencil. The challenge of black and white is very rewarding.

I am an artist and published poet from youth. I am a ordained shaman as well as married with 5 kids and one grandson so far. Most of my work is contained in coffee table style books som are individually done. My hope is to encourage others veterans and the world. I also have pseudo artist name of dronus silverfang that id l Iike to patent soon
