Artist Trent Gudmumdsen 🇺🇸 (American artist)

Artist Trent Gudmumdsen 

Trent Gudmundsen (born 1978 in California, USA) grew up in a small Utah farming community where he began oil painting at the age of 14. He later attended college on a full-tuition art scholarship, but the artist frequently found himself painting in the nearby fields and canyons instead of attending his classes because he "learned so much more by just painting." ...but the experience yielded one lasting result: the artist, bored of his classes, decided to paint quick studies of the people around him, and quickly found that he was quite good at painting people. Trent soon left school to paint on his own and thereafter moved to Colorado where he met and married Lorajean. That same year, Southwest Art magazine recognized Trent's potential in their annual "21 Under 31" article. (Later, the magazine would feature Trent in a 6-page feature [in August 2010]).Trent's work has now been recognized with top awards on a national level including at the American Impressionist Society National Exhibition (NY, NY. 2019), two Oil Painters of America National Exhibitions (2003 & 2009), and the National Oil & Acrylic Painters Society's "Best of America" Exhibit (2019).
