Lew Brennan – “People kept telling me that I was different”

Growing up as a young boy with a passion for art, in a big country town in the ‘60s, meant that Lew felt somewhat like an outsider. People kept telling him that he was different, and he says that he struggled with the school system from year 4 onwards. Those challenges, however, didn’t stop Lew from becoming a community leader, a local government councillor, and a much sort after artist. If you’re familiar with Lew’s art, you know that it is extremely intricate and detailed. It’s a passion that he is committed to daily, working away in his private space on his property in Cooran.
