Brent Crothers

Brent Crothers was born in Harford, Maryland. He attended Maryland Institute College of Art and received both a B.F.A and an M.F.A . When Crothers was twenty-four, he purchased twenty acres of undeveloped land and allowed himself to begin immersing himself in art, and his own intuitions. Crothers was very influenced by September 11, as it caused him to reevaluate life, peace, the environment, and relationships. He began using symbols such as the peace sign in his work as a result. Brent Crothers has exhibited his work in multiple solo and group exhibitions throughout the country and the world, and has experience teaching and lecturing at multiple institutions in the U.S.
