Adaline Kent lived and worked in the San Francisco Bay Area for most of her life. Inspired by time spent in the mountains of the High Sierra - and her observations of the way bodies move through space - her work captures elegant, elemental movements through biomorphic shapes and forms. Evoking a diverse array of imagery ranging from mountains, streams, and trees to the more abstract infinity symbol, Kent was a pioneer of the mid-century modernist aesthetic, working with luminaries from renowned landscape architect Thomas Church to storied gallerist Betty Parsons. Her dedication to creating visual movement and balance through static form transcends time, remaining as deeply resonant today as it was during Kent's lifetime.
