Advocate, artist and a humanitarian, Brian Peterson is an inspiration. His approach to taking ideas seriously will inspire you as well. We were first introduced to Brian through his immensely powerful depiction of Kobe at the Dolby theatre complex in Los Angeles. He was inspired by an image of him receiving the Oscar in 2018, for the Best Animated Short Film “Dear Basketball”. Little did we know, there was so much more to Brian than being a muralist. During our conversation we learn how Brian gained the courage to leave his dream job designing cars for Kia, how he later became a paster, and then about the moment that changed his life forever. “When my motives changed from trying to help the homeless to trying  to help the homeless, to simply loving the homeless, everything changed". BP He now tells the stories of our “houseless neighbors” through his organization Faces of Santa Ana.
