Squire Broel was born in the early 1970s in the Pacific Northwest, a region whose natural beauty and quiet intensity would come to define much of his artistic voice. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Visual Art, with a minor in Communication, from Seattle Pacific University in 1992. Following his education, he spent several years traveling throughout Southeast Asia, a period that expanded his worldview and deepened his spiritual and material understanding of art. Upon returning to the U.S., he worked at the Walla Walla Foundry as a bronze patineur, where he honed his technical skills while collaborating with leading sculptors. In 1997, he established his studio in Walla Walla, Washington, where he continues to live and work.Motivated by a desire to explore the quiet power of form, texture, and ritual, Broel’s work draws heavily from the natural world. His paintings and sculptures often feature repeated, abstracted motifs—symbols of growth, transformation, and spiritual balance. He works in a variety of materials including bronze, aluminum, resin, wood, and canvas, creating pieces that embody both elegance and timelessness. His art resists fleeting trends, instead focusing on simplicity, reflection, and a profound respect for the environment and inner life.Broel has received numerous accolades throughout his career and has been included in several public and private collections. His work has been recognized for its emotional clarity, technical refinement, and ability to hold space for contemplation and sanctuary. Museum Exhibitions:Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, Spokane, WAAmerican University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center, Washington, DCBrooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, NYLos Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CASwedish Hospital Public Collection, Seattle, WAWhitman College Public Art Collection, Walla Walla, WACity of Walla Walla Public Art Collection, Walla Walla, WA
