William Kent began creating artwork in the late 1940s. He was fascinated with sculpture and experimented in many different mediums including clay, wood, plaster, stone, and even driftwood. Many of his early works were abstract forms, which later progressed into stylized, but easily recognizable sculptures. Kent created many large animal pieces, from elephants to apes to squid, and bas-relief carvings of lizards and sea life in stone slabs. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Kent carved several oversized insects and human figures in wood. He now lives quietly in Connecticut.
