  As an artist, Kyle’s passion is painting landscapes and historical buildings. He credits much of his painting ability to his keen observation of perspective. Taking photographs while on vacation and at other leisure moments is the primary resource for his oil paintings.

Born in Torreon, Mexico in 1983 Alejandro soon moved overseas and spent most of his youth in Spain and Germany. His interest in art began at an early age and grew into a passion in his late teens. A self-taught artist he has explored many styles and mediums of art such as realism, abstract and use of graphite and charcoal. After serving eight years in the U.S Air Force he chose to move to San Angelo, TX to be present in his daughter's life. In less than a year he opened the Vino Dipinte Art Gallery and began his artist career.

His current body of work can be described as figurative and explosive with color.

"When people see my work, I'd like them to smile. Smile when they recognize their pet in the painting. Smile because the painting reminds them of a fun day at the beach with their dog. Smile because they recognize the cat's ability to reign superior to all living creatures. Smile because the pig is smiling.

I love to paint with oils that are vibrant and alive. I love reconnecting a client to a beloved pet that reminds them of happy moments and true devotion. I love to paint because painting makes me smile:)" - Kathryn Wronski

"I have always loved to draw the face and figure. If I'm not actually drawing from the posed model or sketching people going about their everyday lives, I'm probably thinking about it. I seldom miss an opportunity to draw or paint from life and I strive every day to capture not just a likeness of my subjects, but also the more elusive qualities of spirit, mood and emotion.

"I paint because it is what I love to do. I am inspired by almost everything because I embrace the moments I am in. When it is time to paint, I am in it with my whole heart. When it is time to play with my children, I embrace it fully and forget everything else. Because of my ability to completely be in the moment and go with the flow of life's unexpected turns I can use the richness of those experiences to bring my paintings to life." - Corey West

"I like to think of my work as a glimpse of the mystery.  The metaphors of life held in branches, cloud wisps, and water.  There is something that compels me to paint, not what is literally seen but what is felt.  For me, the window into the spiritual is nature. I believe God is talking, without words, through His creation.  Painting is my way of listening." - Dawn Waters Baker

"Some would say that artists must give up the “arts scene” to live in an out-of-the-way place with the natural beauty that we enjoy. But I say, not so. We have it all here - nature’s beauty, a climate conducive to plein air painting, and a healthy focus on art education. It doesn’t get any better than this." - Shirley Anderson
