Grant M. Brownlow is a Michigan born and raised interdisciplinary artist and educator working primarily in printmaking and mixed media paintings. Grant creates intricate industrial-inspired compositions exploring the post-industrial midwestern psyche. The work, informed by his life and upbringing around post-industrial and automotive-centered ephemera, confronts ideas including class, identity, distortion of influences and self-destructive tendencies.  

Grant was raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan where he was heavily influenced by the industrial landscape of the Midwestern United States. During this time, Grant frequented autobody shops, racetracks, forgotten industrial sites and worked in plastic automotive factories. Grant studied Studio Art at Albion College after which he received his MFA from Purdue University in 2024. Grant currently lives and works in the greater Detroit, Michigan region.
