Blake Perret

Blake was pursuing an acting career in LA, living in Beverly Hills and playing small roles in short films and commercials, when he came across the Art Portfolio Program at Prima Materia. He was inspired by the idea that fine art and acting could enhance one another. He joined the program, learned techniques of drawing and painting, and started experimenting with various subjects and materials. He was especially encouraged when one of his pieces was sold at an auction. He started to feel his creative potential and discover that painting was his real passion, so he decided to switch careers to studio artist. He declared that creating art was making him happy. After graduating from the program, Blake started his professional career building large-format body of work towards gallery submissions. We look forward to seeing his artistic success! Blake re-enrolled for the second year. He was turning into a very interesting painter with his own voice and unique style.
