Brent Young was born in Harrisburg PA. Where he didn't stay long because there was no work for a person who couldn't walk or talk yet... he was only 9 months old. But that didn't stop him from the pursuit of art. Brent became interested in art at an early age where he enjoyed drawing, painting women while looking at the JC Penny Lingerie section. During the fifth grade he became interested in graphics and designs especially anything to do with BMX, Skateboarding, and Surfing. Brent pursued art throughout the rest of middle school and high school as well as surfing. It's hard to surf the great lakes. After graduation Brent attended college in his hometown at Youngstown State University where he earned his bachelors in studio arts. Currently Brent continues to paint, sculpt and design in his home studio in Chicago IL. Where he occasionally has shows and sells commission pieces. He is surfing the lake right now!
