Brent Refsland is an artist living in southern Maine. For more than a decade he has solely incorporated discarded and used sandpaper he’s collected from fellow artists, woodworkers, and friends into landscapes, weavings, and abstract works on wood panel and paper. His approach is largely intuitive, melding observation with memory, imagination, and emotion.
Refsland earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a focus in photography from the Herberger Institute of Design and the Arts at Arizona State University in 2005. His work is included in private and corporate collections around the world.
