Google Reviews about Kent Paulette

Kent has such great artistic sensibility. His voice is quite unique as he provides fresh, unique perspective on universal themes. He is also responsive and timely as a commissioned artist. As someone who has commissioned two different works from Kent, he eloquently captured the essence of my children when he painted them.

I really like how Kent uses color and especially texture in his paintings. He can do just about anything! We have his "Bear in the Birch Trees" and we love it and get many good comments on it.

Kent is an amazing artist. His work has a unique quality that is instantly recognizable. His work covers such a variety of genre from celebrates to nature to animals to landscapes to nudes, all amazing.

Kent is an Amazing artist. He puts so much heart and passion into each and everyone of his pieces. I bought a deer picture for my house and received so many compliments even to the point I had someone beg me for it. I plan on buying many more. The paintings are truly unique and one of a kind. I highly recommend purchasing one of his masterpieces.

I’ve known Kent for over 35 years and witnessed some of his very first sketches during our childhood together. His newest work online is amazing! Very talented guy!

Kent is a spectacular artist, we have purchased many many pieces from his collection. We also commissioned him to paint a portrait of my Mother from a photograph. He did a wonderful job!! She's so beautiful and he brought her youthfulness to the canvas just like in the photo! The paintings I've attached are the commissioned painting of my Mother, the first painting we purchased and a very special floral!!! We also have 2 other paintings from Kent 🙂 I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for an amazing artist!

I instantly fell in love with the vibrant colors and intricate shapes in Kent's paintings. I am so happy with my purchase. Kent's beautiful painting has brought so much incredible energy into my home and my life. Kent keeps you informed in every step of the process, all the way through delivery. I am really looking forward to adding another one of his paintings to my collection.

Kent is an incredibly talented artist. Diverse in his mediums, he is able to capture and paint whatever you are looking for perfectly. His eye for detail and uncovering nature’s beauty is spot on. We had him paint something very specific and delivered it earlier than expected and well beyond our expectations. Kent is wonderful to work with and unlike any artist we have met.

Though I am biased as Kent is my best friend I must say that he is one of the most uniquely inspiring and connected artists I know! He puts his emotions and soul into his paintings and even incorporates nature! Creek water forever! Not to mention his work is timeless and something you will never find in ANY other gallery! He can also make your dreams come true with amazing custom work that will melt your heart! I would know! Anyway, love you Kent! Continue to flow that beautiful energy and spirit and soul you have into masterpieces!

All you need to do to understand the quality of this young man's work is take a look at it: It speaks for itself. Anyone can see how beautiful this is and I challenge anyone to say that they would not love to have one of Kent's paintings hanging in a prominent spot in their life.

Kent is such a talented artist. I see so many of his pieces in various venues around western NC, and his paintings are unmistakable in their style and beauty. I would love to own one of his pieces, but in the meantime I’m always happy to admire his work when I see it. I’ve known Kent since our high school art class, and he’s also such a kind and friendly person. It’s so nice to see his success and get to enjoy his work so many years later.

Beautiful Artwork! One of a kind pieces. Make a statement in your home or office with one of these unique paintings. I have trouble choosing which one I want to take home.

I recently commissioned Kent to paint a portrait as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend. Kent was not only able to work with my budget, he exceeded my wildest expectations. I have watched him paint several pieces at Sorrento’s Bistro, and let me tell you his work is incredible. Kent was so kind, stopping his work to converse about various pieces I had questions about. If you want a one of a kind piece made with pure intention, Kent is your guy.

Met Kent in the high country a few years ago and was immediately taken by his talent - his works are simply stunning. He paints with passion and really captures the spirit of the high country and his subjects. As we got to know Kent, we found out other interesting fun facts - like he uses local river water in each of his paintings AND he is genuinely a wonderful, kind, brilliant gentleman. Highly recommend and encourage you to visit one of the studios featuring his works and inquire when he will be available so you can meet him/see him paint in person.

We have Kent Paulette's Family Time Painting in our North Georgia Cabin. We went to Sugar Mountain and saw this painting in Banner Elk at Sorrento's Italian Restaurant. Next ski trip up to Sugar Mtn... we went to see Kent's Art Gallery and purchased this painting. Every person who comes into our home comments about the uniqueness of Kent's modern nature style. 🙂 We felt that this "Family Time" painting captures our family of 3 perfectly!

I purchased Kent Paulette’s painting “Appalachia Rising” in 2018 for our new home in Texas. I first saw the painting hanging at the Chef’s Table in Banner Elk, NC. Kent had it bubble-wrapped & securely boxed up & shipped within the week. I love it!

Happened upon Kent Paulette’s work on a trip to Banner Elk, NC. Beautiful paintings with so much personality! Bluebirds are a favorite, so when I saw this small piece, I had to have it. Everyone at the studio in Banner Elk was so easy to work with. If you are in the area, I would highly recommend a visit!

I love Kent Paulette's work! The textures, the colors and the overall composition draws the eye into the glorious world of what's on that canvas. The painting that captured my eye was a gorgeous owl. I was sad to find it was sold but Kent was gracious enough to let me commission my own owl piece, which I was proud to see titled "Shelby's Owl" for a long while on his website. Later, I commissioned a painting of birch trees that I wanted in bright primary colors. He worked with me to ensure my masterpiece was perfect.

Unique style and expressive colors capture the region. Paintings will harmonize with any decor and will become a family tradition in themselves. The viewer of Kent’s painting is treated to artists love, experiences,and adventures of creating a work of art.
