Creating images has always been a part of Brent’s life. As a toddler, bedroom walls, floors, and even his baby brother’s bald head became his canvases. As he grew, this natural creativity and desire to find new experiences drew him into many different areas.

During his teen years, Brent was happiest on the football field or flying down a mountain slope. Both school and life sparked his imagination and he was inspired by the works of many artists from Shakespeare to Bob Dylan and Rembrandt to Pollock.

The power and energy of his figurative work are due to Brent’s need to draw and compose from life, whether in a studio working with models or in the field of air painting. This spiritual connection with his subject is the cornerstone of his artwork.

“I have always been aware of the spiritual dimension which connects us to everyone and everything. For me, investigating a landscape, portrait, or life study transforms my perspective. The process of drawing or painting the subject becomes a wonderful way to acknowledge this relationship,” says Brent.
