Brett Eberhardt

 Based in Providence, Rhode Island, Brett Eberhardt is preoccupied with the similarities in building a painting, a massive accumulation of both intentional and chance occurrences, with the histories of the battered objects and surfaces in his surroundings. Brett has exhibited internationally and won numerous awards, including a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, an Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant and a Merit Award Fellowship from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts. He received a BFA at Northern Michigan University and an MFA at Syracuse University and has taught at Western Illinois University, State of New York University at Potsdam and Maine College of Art. He has been teaching painting at CT State Community College Manchester since 2017. He is represented by Kenise Barnes Fine Art in Kent, CT.
