About the Artist

Paul Brent is a Panama City artist whose work is known worldwide. He first came to Bay County in 1969 and his paintings in watercolor and oil have deftly portrayed the many aspects of the area capturing the innate beauty on paper and canvas. Often he is referred to as America's best know coastal artist and he is best known for his idyllic watercolors of coastal life. However, his work has shown constant progression and change throughout his career. The first pieces of art work that he sold in 1976 were pen and ink drawings of coastal wildlife that he tinted with light washes of watercolor on illustration board and later 300lb watercolor paper. By 1978 he had dropped the pen and ink and was doing more detailed and volumetric paintings of the same subjects, mostly shorebirds and shells. His paintings still used the white paper for much of the background.

Paul has been active in Arts and planning organizations both locally and in the state of Florida. He served on the board and was president for four years of Bay Arts Alliance. He was on the board of the Friends of the Bay County Libraries and the Greater Downtown Association. He served as board member and Secretary on the Florida Arts Council and was a board member of the Florida Humanities Council. He has donated his art for many local charities including the Spring Festival of the Arts that he participated in for 25 years. He painted two life-sized dolphins for the community's "Dolphin Splash" fund raising event and has been participation in the Covenant Hospice Mask Parade since its inception in 2003.
