Brent graduated from the University of Kansas with a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts, Spring of 1993. The way I paint is I use acrylic paint. I apply it to the canvas in thick broad bold, brushstrokes I like to paint straight from the painting tube. I love a lot of color the brighter the better. “I’m an artist who draws, paints and sculpts the American Indian in a contemporary style. I have always appreciated the heritage and culture of the American Plains Indian. I try to create artwork to capture the essence, accuracy, and historic authenticity of the American Plains Indian way of life. Although I have many different styles, I’m typically known for the use of bold vibrant colors in my depictions of the American Plains Indian.”
