Sports Artist: Brent Naughton
“My goal is to provide a piece of artwork that celebrates the greatness of the athlete that you hold close to your tattered jersey-covered heart.”
Brent Naughton is an artist and graphic designer living in Cincinnati, Ohio and specializing in portraiture. His work focuses on athletes, everyday heroes and most recently, pets (it could be argued that 'pets' fall under the 'everyday heroes' category, but we think they deserve their own mention 😉).
A true lover of sports with the Cincinnati Reds topping his all time favorite teams, Brent's work has been shown in the Reds Hall of Fame, The Robert Clemente Museum in Pittsburgh and the Dayton Art Institute. In the spirit of celebrating every-ness, you can always view his work at Eli's BBQ on Riverside and Fireside Pizza in Walnut Hills. He's also been featured on The Art Show on CET as well.
“I do not claim to be the “world’s most renowned sports artist,” but I do understand what it feels like to have sports heroes and to live and die with my favorite teams. The goal of my artwork is to evoke memories of seasons past and celebrate the greatness of sports legends of every era.
“While I do, on occasion, create artwork for the athletes themselves, my main mission is to capture the spirit of a specific athlete for fans.”
Whether your favorite player is Mickey Mantle, Jim Brown or Roberto Clemente, my goal is to provide a piece of artwork that celebrates the greatness of the athlete that you hold close to your “tattered jersey-covered” heart.”
As a sports artist, Brent Naughton creates sports artwork that includes both national and local heroes in baseball, football, basketball and other sports. In addition to his original sports paintings, he offers sports art prints as well.
“I feel incredibly fortunate that I can make my life’s work capturing the heroes and legends of sports and life.”
