Kevin Courter Works

Kevin Courter was born in 1964 in Palo Alto. Growing up in Northern California, he found himself drawn to the beauty and diversity of the Californian landscape. From rugged Sierra Nevada mountain ranges, the vast wetlands in the Sacramento Valley, and the majesty of the California coastline, Kevin is, first and foremost, a painter of California.  However, his travels have brought him to such places as Montana, Wyoming and Utah where he has found a rich abundance of inspiring landscapes. His paintings of California, Montana and Utah reflect the awesome and inspiring beauty that can be found in nature. “It’s in nature’s simple and intimate vignette’s that I find the most beauty”. Whether painting in the studio or on location, his work reveals his passion for the land he loves.  Kevin, and his wife Janice, recently relocated to Redding, California where he looks forward to painting northern CA and the beautiful landscapes of Oregon.

As a member of the California Art Club and a signature member of the American Tonalists Society, Kevin is inspired by the moody and ethereal work of contemporaries Russell Chatham, Andre Balyon and historical painters such Arthur Matthews, Maxfield Parrish, George Inness and others. His work can be found in private and public collections around the world.
