Google Reviews about Kent Paulette

One of the most brilliant artists I've ever encountered in person some of his paintings can be features in restaurants and in the art gallery in Banner Elk I am very pleased to say I have met a very talented artist who is unique in his talent

Kent has a very unique style that is extremely intriguing and fun to look at. I have one of his originals hanging in my office and love it! He has a wide range of content that he paints and his use of geometric shapes and bold colors never get boring. I would highly recommend checking out his social media sites and reach out to him if you see something you would like to purchase. He is a super nice 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.

There are only two of us left at home, but now we aer worried that 2 houses may not affod us enough room to display Kent's paintings as we keep buying. Below is our latest, "Blue Ridge Grace", one of our favorites.

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.

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.

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 have known Kent for several years now. Not only is he a caring, compassionate person, he is dedicated to his art. He puts his insight and emotion into each and every painting. His love of the outdoors is clear, as it is in his private life. And not to forget his human forms. His “action” beauties can be seen in various establishments. Thank you Kent for your contribution to make our world a more beautiful place. Your friend, Sandy T. Walker January 15, 2019 ❤️

We discovered Kent Paulette's work in one of the local shops in Banner Elk after we bought our second home on Beech Mountain. My wife spotted an engaging giclee painting of a large black bear face created with a fascinating method of lines and shapes; some geometric, some more vague and abstract. The colors made the bear pop out of the painting as the face and body were painted with blues, blacks and other subtle colors against a bright background of yellows, oranges and reds. The overall visual effect was stunning and demands your attention. It was the perfect center piece for our living room area which was painted with neutral colors and furnishings. The wood and stone in the room completed the setting for this stunning work of art. It never fails to get compliments from all of our visitors. I am not a serious collector and usually don't appreciate the more abstract paintings. Kent's work is very unique. We love all of his work!

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!

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.

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!

Kent's work is unlike any other.... pictures don't do his paintings justice! If you're fortunate enough to see him paint, that's the real treat!

I’m a big fan of the artwork of Kent Paulette. His work brings excitement to my salon everyday with the painting of Frank Sinatra. The colors and the texture make me feel as if “Blue Eyes” himself is right there in the salon with us! I look forward to my next Kent Paulette purchase. ~J Roberts J.Roberts Salons

A beautiful spirit who’s artwork is not only intriguing, but captivating. His unique take on abstract art and striking use of color catches everyone’s attention. He does incredible work with landscapes as well as with people, and custom work is never a problem for him. Whether you boast one of his originals, a giclee, or just a print, the compliments you’ll receive on it are endless! Having worked with him for a few years, I’ve never had a bad thing to say about not only his artwork, but him as a human being.

Kent captures the sprit of animals and people alike in his paintings. The amount texture and depth he is able to create in each work of art is something that should be observed in person. Absolutely beautiful!

I have 5 of Kent’s paintings from different parts of his career. Each is unique and stunning

I have know Kent since high school, his art work and they style he paints using nature in his work makes everything beautiful! The details of his work make each painting unique! I love watching his artwork come to life!!!

I absolutely love the stunning and unique pieces that Kent Paulette creates.

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.

Kent Paulette...in touch with nature and the environment...brilliant and inspirational. We struggle with which painting is our favorite. Chuck & Diane Slivensky

We’ve been collecting Kent’s paintings for years. They bring so much joy to our home!

I have admired Kent's work for many years. The piece I have is captivating and each visitor comments on the painting. Kent's work is kinetic yet soothing. A joy to behold with so much color, action, and presence in each piece he creates.

Kent is a fabulous and innovative artist. I always look forward to seeing his work.

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.

Kent is amazing!!! He does fantastic work!! I have many paintings of his around my home, they really make the walls pop!!

Kent is a fabulously talented artist. I have known Kent for many years and he displayed his paintings in my coffeehouse for many years.

We had the pleasure of meeting Kent as he was painting in downtown Banner Elk! He is an amazing artist and an unexpected great find! One of our friends purchased an original Bear painting on our visit and we will be purchasing from him this year!

We have known Kent for many years. We went to an opening of his many years ago and fell in love with his work. Our piece is The Viaduct and we continually receive compliments on it. Thanks Kent for sharing your work with us.

I have seen Kent's work from his earliest days and am amazed at the work he has produced. His paintings come alive with color and texture and make one feel as if it's come to life. I look forward to seeing his future work and am glad to say he's a product of my hometown.

Kent’s artwork is amazing. His style is truly unique. From nature to portraiture he captures his subjects essence.

Kent’s artwork is exceptional. I love his use of colors and textures. Each piece is unique. I especially enjoy his landscapes, animals, and portraits.

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!

Creative artisan with passion that pours onto the canvas--works that you "feel"; not only with your senses, but with your soul. Style and topic matter that fits many different decors and a definate must for any art patron's collection. I view his new works regularly and have had one of his thought provoking creations hanging in my home since 2008.

A very cool profile of an excellent High Country Mountain artist. Kent Paulette and his paintings are worth the drive to western North Carolina, along with the nature that he captures there in his work with every stroke.

An outstanding artist. Always exploring, always learning. And we are allowed to enjoy the journey too.

Energetic and colorful, this artist’s work is modern and refreshing. I particularly like his painting of nature for which Kent has a great love.

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.

I met Kent in October of 2018,an artist friend of my nephew,Brian.We lost Brian,also an artist, in July of 2017.It was wonderful for my sister to hear Kent’s stories of friendship between him and Brian.In addition to friendship and their art connection,Kent also is a gifted artist.Many of his paintings hang in an Italian restaurant,Sorrento’s,in Banner Elk,N.C. I love the one Kent did this fall of Janis Joplin.I have Brian’s Joplin painting proudly hanging in my home. Kent’s creative spirit shines through in his art and personality. My sister and I loved meeting him in Boone N.C.this past fall.

So much creativity! Kent is able to add vibrant color and movement to all of life's physical aspects, in his paintings.

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.

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.

Kent Paulette is an exceedingly talented and skillful artist. The captivating painting of the horse he donated to us is evidence of this. Aside from possessing distinctive talent he is a generous soul. Thank you for helping us continue to help others. Leslie Cherry- Life Challenge Western North Carolina

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.

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.

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!

Kent Paulette is an artist this artist looks to for advice at times. I admire his free strokes and vibrant colors. Kent is actually one of the biggest reasons I left a full time job to paint full time. I love the passion he puts into his work and his approach.

I've seen many of Kent's original works up close and personal. With varied subject matter, all his paintings are powerfully evocative and exciting to the viewer. Colors and brushwork are usually bold and expressive, but he can produce delicate renditions as well. One of his works from 2005 is aptly named 'An Expression To Remember' and hangs on my wall and I never tire of it. The woman's beautiful and stirring face is difficult to describe in words and each viewer may see something different. Haughty, sad, jaded, thoughtful ? A truly inspired and creative force is Kent Paulette.

I usually prefer hyperrealistic paintings, but I find myself drawn to Kent's artistic style. It's somehow detailed and abstract at the same time. If you, like me, find that there are too many great ones to decide, he does also have a book available that includes many of his most beautiful works. Definitely one of my favorite artists.

I first met Kent when we were in high school and his love of art and the act of creation has grown more and more each year. He incoporates the mountain environment he loves as well as his own heart and soul into each and every painting presenting a unique and gorgeous view of a little piece of our wonderful world. I am truly impressed with the skill and passion Kent has for his art. Thank you for making the world a more beautiful place.

A wonderful guy to talk to in general he really lives up to what it's like to live in the High Country also a great experience. Artist he never fails to show new techniques and innovative and creative ideas.

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 absolutely love Kent’s work. His use of color and texture seem to bring each painting to life. Amazing talent!

Cynthia

some of the most talented real art for collecting and just enjoying I've seen available... a find... a catch...

Kent is such a talented and natural artist. He has the eye and the touch. His art is unique, timeless, and amazing. You will love his art.

My wife and I love Kent Paulette's work. After viewing Kent's portraits of celebrities we commissioned him to paint a portrait of the two of us standing in front of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree that is just full of life. We love it, and now it has a permanent spot on our dinning room wall. We also own four beautiful giclee prints of several of Kent's works that we most love.

Kent is a very talented artist! His artwork is excellent and creative. His usage of texture and the contrast of colors brings his artwork to life.

Brilliant artist in based out of Banner Elk, NC. No other artist has been able to capture light, color and movement in the way that Kent Paulette is able to. He adds a special Creek water touch to his paintings that no one else does. I would drive across country to see one of his exhibits.

Kent has amazing artwork! As someone who went to school with him, I can say that he is a sweet, down to earth person. His artwork is lovely and anyone would be lucky to have a piece of his talent. I am looking forward to having one for myself someday!

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.

I have one of Kent's painting of the blue bird...my favorite bird. He did such a good job getting the likeness of the bird.
