Biography
Born in Springfield, MA. Garrett graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. He has also studied at Exeter College of Art & Design in England with painting excursions in London, Edinburgh, Belfast and throughout the Southwest-Devonshire region.
Two additional years at Springfield College for educational coursework resulted in teacher certification and computer animation experience.
As a fine artist and muralist, Garrett's key objective with most painting projects is to create a powerful image encompassing the elements of subject matter (architecture, landscape, figurative, collage) and the artist's ability to visually orchestrate color, light source, pattern, structure and balance.
