Wood, Kyle

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 he also enjoys Drawing and Photography. For many years he 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, values, 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 a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree 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 Creative Arts.

Kyle is represented by The Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas and many of his paintings are finding their way into Collector’s 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 there he has discovered a multitude of historical places, scenic vistas of plateau mountains, farmland, rivers, lakes and beautiful gardens to paint. In many ways the move was meant to be because it broadened his perspective, inspiration and ideas for oil paintings.
