From Stellersgallery.com: Kent Sullivan (1952- ), was raised in Colorado and Nebraska. Today, he is regarded as one of America's most outstanding landscape painters. Twenty-five years ago, he won the prestigious National Koshare Kiva Art Competition, and his career was launched. Art Critic Laura Stewart Dishman commented: Effectiveness is due, in part, to its inspiring subject and its realism, but still more to the artist's use of a long and successful tradition of romantic landscape painting. Gayle Williams of Sarasota Art Review wrote: What touched me was the life in his paintings - the way he captures the ephemeral interactions of clouds, sun and earth with his delicate use of color and gesture. Bob Schulman, curator for NASA's art collection, adds: His are inspired and beautiful paintings few artists have the ability to accomplish. Throughout his career thus far, Sullivan has been featured on television, in magazines and the art media. He has juried art competitions, served as a featured speaker and has lead workshops for other artists.
