Brainard Carey was born in Manhattan, New York, and grew up in Yonkers. After attending undergraduate art school at SUNY Purchase, he moved to Rhode Island and opened a gallery and began publishing a literary magazine.

Carey directs an online school for artists, Praxis Center For Aesthetics, that helps artists to write grants, exhibit, and advance their careers.
