Kent Wallis

Kent Wallis Biography:
Kent Wallis' recollections of his earliest interests in art are childhood experiments with crayon and drawing. A fourth grade teacher noticed unusual capacities and encouraged his artistic development. Unfortunately, Kent had another consuming interest, athletics. As he grew, sports monopolized his time. It would be 20 years before he returned to developing his art, prints and posters. After receiving both bachelor's and master's degrees in business, Wallis went to work for B.F. Goodrich in Akron, Ohio in 1969. From his very first day on the job, he knew that life could not possibly be fulfilling for him in a business career, but his need to support a young family made him endure for six years. By 1975, Wallis' life had become so uninvigorating that he was a slave to a desk by day and a television recluse by night.  >>click here for more
