BRETT McCORMACK

(b. 1984)

New York based artist, Brett McCormack, draws upon the details of the natural world that have fascinated him since his childhood in northern Maine and now in his daily life in the Hudson Valley. 

Working in paint and paper, the artist connects themes evident in nature to personal experiences of growth, adaptation, vulnerability, loss, and reclamation. 

McCormack's aesthetic is influenced by global exploration and years of collaboration with Manhattan-based interior and fashion designers.

His work is fueled by an urgency to reinvigorate the innate sensory experience of a modern humanity ever-distracted by the unnatural.
