About Blake Brasher

Blake Brasher is a visual artist working primarily in mixed media painting.  His colorful abstractions are reflections on the nature of reality and what it is like to be a thinking being in a universe that is at once beautiful and terrifying.  He grew up in Alaska, and has also lived in Turkey, Texas, and Arizona before moving to Massachusetts in 1997.  He received his BS in Art and Design from MIT in 2003 and has been exhibiting his work publicly since 2008. He is currently pursuing an MFA at Lesley University with an expected graduation date of January 2022. His work is internationally collected, and he has participated in artist residency programs in Italy, Romania, France, New York, and Massachusetts as well as editions of The Other Art Fair in New York City and Los Angeles and the Superfine Art Fair in Washington DC.
