Meet Brent Barton: he is a nature-loving artist and craftsman based in Saint Louis, MO. Former President of VSM Abrasives Corporation, a sandpaper manufacturing company, Brent found time for his passion in woodworking after retiring in 2023. He now spends his time creating beautiful furniture and sculptures from raw wood, inspired by nature and his walks in the forests with his faithful dog, Joe.
Explore Brent's collection to see how he turns wood into art.
Wood has a special attraction - from its grain, to its colors, to its unique "imperfections" in each piece of raw wood - that suits both rustic and modern settings. I use this timeless appeal to add a touch of simplicity and sophistication to any space. Each piece celebrates nature's beauty, inviting viewers to connect with wood's character and enhance their surroundings.
Influences
My work is heavily influenced by the works of Benoit Averly, Jay McDougall, George Nakashima and other artists.
