The countryside has an allure that appeals to all.
Kent Wallis understands this and conveys the
beauty and joy found in the rural haunts and
sleepy neighborhoods, which are familiar and
inviting. Trace the brush strokes, the hue and the
layout of his art, and you will not only discover a
skilled painter but also a discerning interpreter of
memories and moods.
The path to Wallis' dream was not as peaceful
as his images. After several years in the high
powered field of marketing and painting only
as a hobby, Wallis felt driven to pursue art -
uprooting his family to follow that dream. For all
involved, it was a path worth taking. In recent
years, Kent has committed himself to an
unwavering course of "plein air" painting. For the
artist, "the abundance of nature is never-ending;
fragrant flora and thick overgrowth interplay
with light and shadow; structures combine with
foliage in harmony - all of this creating a wealth
of the senses." Kent Wallis embraces the sublime
task of releasing nature's bounty for all to see.
