Brent Cotton is an award winning, nationally recognized artist living in the Bitterroot valley of western Montana. He prefers to paint in the Tonalist/Luminist style made popular in the late 1800's, seeking to create works that are mood-evoking and have a timeless quality. His work can be found in many private and corporate collections throughout the country. An avid outdoorsman Brent can often be found standing in one of the local rivers with a fly rod in his hand or on the oars of his drift boat. The close proximity to some amazing blue-ribbon trout streams is one of the many reasons he and his family make their home in the Bitterroot valley of Montana. This passion has led Brent to focus on sporting art, particularly fly-fishing as a common theme in his work. He is represented by several galleries across the nation and participates in some of the most prestigious museum exhibitions throughout the year. Some of his recent awards include: “Wilson Hurley Landscape Award” Prix de West 2018; National Cowboy Museum “Victor Higgins Award” for best grouping of works; Quest for the West 2019; Eiteljorg Museum “Artist & Patron’s Choice Awards” Night of Artists 2020; Briscoe Western Art Museum
