Kent Wilkinson currently lives and works in Santa Fe New Mexico where he shares an art studio with artist, and wife Cynthia Orr.
The visual impact of Wilkinson's work is one of a painterly, and realistic interpretation of social situations such as celebrations of family and culture.
His paintings reflect an intense interest in the foundations of cultural and personal expression. Recent paintings have examined cross cultural interpretations of style as well as time or period interpretations from within cultural groups. His paintings explore and question the continual process of modification and manipulation of visual elements by such groups and their individual members. .
