Brent Flory

“Your work has such heart,” is one of Brent Flory’s most favorite compliments he has received about his work.  Though many people comment on his use of light, Brent loves to paint the honest reality of the western experience.  Whether it’s cowboys, Native Americans, farmers, ranchers, or their families and animals, his goal is to bring their experiences as close to reality as possible. “People then were so much more connected to, or reliant on, the land, weather, and nature.  They appreciated it more because their lives depended on it.”

Brent graduated from Brigham Young University with a B.F.A. in Illustration. He has been in numerous solo and juried shows including Legacy Gallery’s Salon Show, Settler’s West Gallery’s Miniature Show, The Cowboy Christmas at the NFR in Las Vegas, The Charles M. Russell show in Great Falls, MT. At the San Dimas, CA show, he received Best of Show, Festival Choice Award, and Silver Medal in oils.
