ArtTrends Gallery is proud to welcome acclaimed wildlife and nature artists Ken Wallin as the newest member of its exhibiting community. Though new to the gallery, Wallin is far from new to the region’s creative landscape. For years, he has been a vibrant presence in the coastal art world, known for his dynamic contemporary wildlife paintings, evocative nature studies, and expressive scenes of coastal living. Wallin’s signature style—marked by loose, energetic brushwork, bold palette-knife textures, and compositions that blur the line between realism and abstraction—invites viewers into a world where movement, emotion, and story rise to the surface. His paintings often shimmer with blurred edges, unexpected color harmonies, and thought-provoking imagery, creating a sense of life unfolding in real time. A member of Glynn Visual Arts, Artists for Conservation, and the Oil and Acrylic Painters Society, and a former member of the American Impressionist Society, Wallin brings artistic mastery and a deep sense of purpose to his creaations.
ArtTrends patrons will now have the opportunity to experience his newest body of work, “Flower Zoo,” a series that blends fantasy and reality to explore themes of conservation, emotional well-being, and the interconnectedness of all living things. In these imaginative pieces, animals and flowers merge into symbolic forms that reflect Wallin’s lifelong commitment to nature, empathy, and positive living. Drawing on his background as a psychologist, inspirational speaker, and artist, Wallin creates paintings that are not only visually striking, but also deeply reflective—artworks that encourage viewers to consider new ways of seeing themselves, each other, and the planet we share. See Ken’s work at ArtTrends Gallery, 3305 Frederica Road, on St. Simons Island, or visit arttrends.gallery.
