About Clint Sloan ...

Clint Sloan has been painting professionally since 1985, he entered the national fine arts scene in 1991 when he was juried into the prestigious, Pageant of the Masters/Festival of Arts at Laguna Beach, California. He was again invited to display his original watercolors at this show for the past 6 years.

Born in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1965, he chose a self-taught path to his art. A 1984 move to Seattle, Washington transformed the quality of his watercolors. At the age of 21, he was accepted into the Northwest Watercolor Society.

Interacting with dreamscapes of old homes, barns, land and skies, he produced realism of place infused with light. The Northwest's abundance of inland waterways added a new watery symbolism to his work. Old fishing boats found homes in his finely hued seascapes.

Clint received many awards from the numerous juried exhibits through out the northwest.

In 1988, Clint followed the Rhythm of place and spent a year in cosmopolitan Los Angeles, studying guitar at the Musician's Institute. This time of introspection and change inspired a collection of watercolors that sold out one-man shows in 1989 and 1990.

Filled with passion, movement and a wonderful palette of lush color and light, Sloan's "imagines" are finding their way into the hearts of collectors and fans throughout the world.

Following a dream, in 1996 Sloan moved to the tropical paradise, the Big Island of Hawaii. There he could study the elements that his inspirations were leading him towards. For three years Sloan was a featured artist with the prestigious Wyland Galleries of Hawaii. This opportunity exposed Sloan’s work to the numerous visitors around the world. Beginning in the year 2000, Sloan opened his own fine art gallery on Hawaii, in downtown Kona. This has been a wonderful way for Sloan to continue his personal interaction with his collectors. Sloan is also a featured artist at Genesis Gallery on the Big Island of Hawaii and the Kahn galleries of Kauai.

Presently, Sloan is receiving tremendous acclaim around the world. For the past two years his paintings toured several cities in Japan, and the artist visited for an autograph session. The exhibitions featured a comprehensive collection of 120 of the artist's most recent paintings as well as limited edition prints.
