Kit Gentry
United States
Originally from Michigan, I graduated from the University of Michigan School of Art in 1991 and soon thereafter moved to Hawaii, where I went on to receive awards in local and statewide art competitions. By the time that I left Hawaii in 2009, three of my paintings had been acquired by the State of Hawaii for its public collection, and people from across the country had begun to collect my work. Outside of Hawaii, I've also been featured in national, juried art contests such as Arts for the Parks, America’s Parks, Yosemite Renaissance, and the Annual Salon of the Art Renewal Center. Articles about my work have been featured in International Artist Magazine and in the French publication Pratique des Arts. My landscape work has been inspired by locations as diverse as Hawaii, French Polynesia, the American West, the Canadian Rockies, and the Appalachian Mountains (where I currently reside in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee).
