Brent Wear is a painter and illustrator who has been working and showing in the Pacific Northwest for the past decade. He is a native of Kansas City, MO, and moved to Portland in 1997 to pursue painting. Most noticed for his paintings of round, toy like birds(and birds in pants), Brent also paints abstracts, trains, helicopters, cupcakes, blackbirds, and other creatures. His work combines the abstract and representational into an absurd, storybook narrative. In his free time Brent likes to ride his bike and bird watch. He is also very fond of cats and trains.
