Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 1947, Brent has lived in the Pacific Northwest most of his life, mainly on Vancouver Island over the past forty-five years. Having discovered a love of carving at a young age, Brent did wood relief and figures, stone carvings; fine detail decoys, and then entered the bronze-casting field in recent years. His work focuses on birds and sea creatures for the most part, with birds of prey being his favorite subject. The bronze works Brent produces currently, are cast at Valley Bronze of Oregon, a foundry of fine repute with dedicated staff who deliver consistently high caliber art of all sizes.
