Growing up in Indiana the youngest of four, Brasher set his goals high studying premed at Purdue University. During his studies he signed up for one drawing class and that was all it took – he knew he had found his true calling. Many professors have guided Brasher through his journey of becoming an artist and developing his own style. As a professional, Brasher has developed a distinctive painting technique, which has evolved from a solid background in art history and literature. You can find Brasher memorizing Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” or playing Chopin on the piano to relax after a day in his studio. The current collection of 20 new painting titled “Where The Holidays Begin” is currently on display at Curly Tale Fine Art located at 16 West Erie Street.
