Kyle Wood – Landscapes and Architecture
Kyle Wood is an award-winning artist, who has been painting professionally for over twenty years. As an artist, his specialty is Oil Painting, but also enjoys Drawing and Photography. For many years, he has painted The Texas Hill Country, San Antonio Missions, and other historical areas in Texas. As a teenager, he took oil painting classes from Calonnie Gragg at Nichols Art & Frame Gallery in Mesquite, Texas, where he grew up. Under her guidance, he learned the basics of color mixing, value, perspective, proportion, and composition. After graduating High School, he continued to take additional Art & Architectural design classes at Eastfield College and The University of Texas at Arlington, where he holds Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art. Since then, he has taken oil painting landscape workshops with June Lee, Dalhart Windberg, and has presented a number of demonstrations for Associated Creative Artists of Dallas, Rockwall Artists League, Artists ‘Round Texas, Rockwall Art League, Northeast Texas Fine Art Alliance, and Texas Area Artists. In addition, he has participated in a number of juried art shows through The Dutch Art Gallery, Artists of Texas, Texas and Neighbors, PaintAmerica Top 100, PaintAmerica Paint the Parks, Waxahachie Plein Air Paint-Out, and The State Fair of Texas Creative Arts. Kyle is represented by The Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas, and many of his paintings are finding their way into collectors’ hands throughout the United States.
In 2020, Kyle and his wife Lori took a leap of faith, and moved from Terrell, Texas, to Chattanooga, Tennessee, to be closer to Lori’s family. Since moving here, he has discovered a multitude of historical places, scenic vistas of plateau mountains, farmland, rivers, lakes, rivers, and beautiful gardens to paint. In many ways, the move was meant to be, because it has broadened his perspective, inspiration and ideas for oil paintings.
