Description

Artist – Bret Iwan

After graduating high school in 2000, Bret decided to pursue his love of art in hopes of becoming an animator or possibly a Disney Imagineer. Bret completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Ringling College of Art and Design in 2004 and moved to Kansas City to start a successful career at Hallmark Greeting Cards.

Bret moved to Los Angeles in September 2009 to start the next chapter of his life. His first recording was Animal Kingdom’s Adventurers Celebration in June 2009. Around that same time, Bret was introduced to Collectors Editions and the Disney Fine Art program by an old college friend from Ringling…none other than Disney Artist Tim Rogerson. This began a great collaborative relationship between Bret and Disney Fine Art for whom he has created several wonderful portraits of the famous mouse, effectively merging Bret’s life as an artist and illustrator with his new career voicing the most recognizable animated character in the world.

Since beginning with Disney, he has met and enjoyed working with the rest of “the gang”. Never in a million years would he have guessed that this is where life would take him.
