BRET NEATHERY

Born in southwest Missouri, I spent my early years surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Ozarks Mountains. This natural landscape deeply influenced my artistic sensibilities. A pivotal moment in my journey came when I encountered my first Jackson Pollock painting; it captivated me and opened my eyes to the expressive potential of abstraction. Since then, I have drawn inspiration from artists like Robert Motherwell, Willem De Kooning, and Mark Rothko.

As a self-taught artist, each piece I create is a reflection of my life, a captivating journey of discovery and expression. My art is more feeling than thought. Through this process, I aim to evoke deep emotions, inviting viewers to connect with my work on a personal level.

I believe that art can transcend boundaries, creating a dialogue between the viewer and the canvas.My hope is that each piece resonates with the viewer, allowing them to find their own stories within the layers of color and form.
