Brent T. Weston

Brent Weston Bio

During a two-year sabbatical from the GA Tech Architecture Program, Brent traveled throughout Europe, Morocco, and Istanbul. Working as a cheese maker above the electrical lines high in the Swiss Alps, Brent's life synced with nature's rhythms. Later, he briefly worked at 3,463 meters on Jungfraujoch, the Top of Europe. Studying at L'Abri in Switzerland, Brent crafted his own easel and traveled to Italy and France to learn to paint. He traveled for nine months, painting across Europe, selling his artwork. Returning to GA Tech, the Alumni Center found him a patron to paint live interior scenes of Atlanta's historic restaurants. In his late 20s and 30s, years of Bipolar medication masked his persona. At 44, Brent earned a BFA in Drawing and Painting, raising his quality of life. He can still be found in his Tennessee studio, smearing pigments, writing books, listening to lectures and sermons, and listening to U2. If by chance he is not in his studio, good luck finding Brent! His travel easel will be missing too!
