Christina Kent

Christina Kent is a full-time figurative painter working primarily in oils. A former PhD economist, Kent's transition to painting was sparked by a realization that the rational economic lens could not fully capture the complexity of human experience. Through her art, she explores the subtle nuances of everyday life, often reflecting on quiet, fleeting moments. Kent has exhibited at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, among other galleries in Northern California. In 2023, she was awarded the Emerging Artist Award from Pence Gallery and had a solo exhibition there in 2024. Kent has been invited to both domestic and international artist residencies, and her upcoming solo exhibition opens in San Francisco at Studio Gallery in March of 2025.
