Born at the start of the most celebrated of decades, Brett has lived most of his life in southern New Hampshire, an area that lacked exhibition facilities for artists, up until recently. With the advent of the internet, he thus followed his muse to broader territories where his art might be shared among other art enthusiasts and professionals. He lives in Nashua. When he isn't painting, he is a solo bagpipe competitor, having won awards at Loon Mt., Lincoln, NH for Piobaireachd (classical music of the the Great Highland Bagpipe). He also studies classical guitar, tutors beginning art instruction, and dabbles in poetry. He is currently writing and illustrating a pre-teen fantasy novel with Christian themes.
