With over 200 public art pieces, Brian P. Hanlon has been dubbed New Jersey's Sculptor, yet many of his sculptures are not only in other states, but also other countries. In business since 1991, Brian Hanlon runs Hanlon Sculpture with the help of his wife, Michele. Together, the couple has four children. Brian has a Bachelor's degree in Art Education and a Master's in Sculpture.

In creating his work, his goal is to evoke feelings in those who experience his art as well as to educate others about the subject of the sculpture. Much of his enjoyment comes from being able to depict subjects who have achieved greatness in their lifetimes. Among his favorites are athletes. Much of Brian's work has decorated places of worship with the Roman Catholic Church being one of his largest patrons.

Many of Brian's pieces honor those we have lost. For his Memorial to Lost Fisherman and most recently Angel in Anguish, friends and families of the victims have expressed their need to have their memorials serve as the gravesites they did not have.
Brian is especially proud to use his talent as a healing tool for those who mourn the loss of loved ones taken too young, too tragically, or just too early.
