Brant has lived in Iowa, Ohio, and Michigan, and currently resides in Detroit. His interest in art dates to his childhood, when his mother taught art in the public schools and painted still-lifes at home. He minored in art in college, but did not pursue it again until about 20 years ago, when he began painting from a live model at the Scarab Club. At the time (90s) there were artists who were generous in giving newcomers helpful coaching. About 10 years ago he began painting with the Michigan Plein Air Painters, and his focus has changed to landscape/cityscape, including both plein air paintings and studio work. He has taken some classes at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center but for the most part is self-taught by painting, looking at art, reading about art, and learning from other artists.
A Few Words From The Artist:
Painting started to become my passion about twenty-five years ago, and has gradually taken over. I am active in plein air ("in open air") landscape painting and do larger paintings in my studio, which is at my home in Detroit. Some paintings are also of my neighborhood or urban scenes. I paint things that inspire me and I hope that you can see in the paintings what it was that inspired. All of the paintings are in oil on either canvas or hardboard.
