Born in 1945 in Ogden, Utah, Kent Wallis began his formal art endeavors rather late compared to most artists. He received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Utah State University in Business Administration in 1969, after which he was employed by the B.F. Goodrich Company in Akron, Ohio. He worked for six years in the fields of marketing and finance.

In January of 1975, he renewed an old hobby that had been abandoned years earlier but which he had enjoyed during his young life - drawing and painting. He did so in an effort to sharpen his creative faculties and give more purpose to his free time. Within six months, Kent moved his family to Logan, Utah and opened an artist supply store to allow him to spend his full time and energies painting.

Self- taught, Kent is the recipient of numerous art awards. He was elected a member of the Northern California Society of Plein Air Painters, a member of the Society of Plein Air Artists of America, and a member of the Society of American Impressionists in 1989.
