PLEASANT Is a multifaceted visual artist who mines his rich experiences as an emotional three dimensional individual. He has created a body of work that is chilling, yet beautiful.

Born in Savannah, Georgia, Pleasant grew up in a highly cultured environment. His father, William Pleasant, was a popular regional painter, and his mother was a distinguished educator.

Pleasant left Savannah in 1986 and began a fine arts training odyssey that led him to Oberlin College, Pratt Institute and ultimately, New York City's renowned School of Visual Arts (SVA). Although Pleasant was originally accepted into the Rhode Island School of Design, he decided to remain in the cosmopolitan environment of New York City. At SVA, he blossomed as an artistic iconoclast, while at the same time assimilating the best that the modern painting movement had to offer.

In New York City, Pleasant studied under the tutelage of many leading visual artists and scholars. Since then, Pleasant has endeavored to discover and cultivate his own unique voice. His latest endeavor is his interest in psychology and its merging with visual representation.

Pleasant currently lives and works in New York City, Savannah Georgia and the European Union.
