From a very early age, his parents supported his creative energies by sacrificing and providing him art instructions through his formative years. After going off to college and graduate school, Brett did not paint for 15 years, but focused on developing my career in human services. After the murder of his mother in December of 2000, he moved to California and began to paint again – as a means of helping to heal his own grief, pain, and traumas experienced to that point. Painting – quite literally – saved his life. Once Brett began creating again, he found he couldn’t stop. The joy and sorrows he was experiencing would now be transformed into vibrant colors and sharply contrasting images.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”1235″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_column_text 0=””]Paige Powell is a professional graphic designer and mixed media artist.
