Chip Brock
View Chip Brock's Reproductions
Page
Wildlife artist Chip Brock was
born and raised in rural Kansas.
In 1993 he received a B.F.A.
from Fort Hays State University
in Hays, Kansas. While in
college he met and fell in love
with his wife Kymberli. As his
biggest supporter and fan, she
has always encouraged him to
pursue his passion for the
outdoors and art. Their
beautiful daughter was born in
Kansas, but her name McKinley
seemed to have prophesied the
exciting direction their lives
were heading.
Chip and Kymberli’s life long
dreams of the West resulted in
many trips to the Rocky
Mountains and six years living
in Southeast Idaho. A belated
honeymoon to Alaska some years
back planted the seed of “The
Last Frontier” and they now
reside in the beautiful Mat-Su
Valley just outside Wasilla,
Alaska. Each day brings a new
and exciting view of the Chugach
mountain range, which serves as
the ultimate backdrop to “live
the dream” as a wildlife artist.
For Chip, a fascination with
North American wildlife, love of
fine art and the challenge of
creating a beautiful painting
based on his own reference and
experiences are the perfect
combination for a fulfilling
career.
Chip’s work has been included in
the prestigious Art For the
Parks competition, Paint the
Parks Competition, C.M. Russell
Art Auction, Kansas Wildlife Art
Series and has helped raise
money for several conservation
groups and private charities.
Chip works exclusively in oils
striving for a realistic yet
painterly approach. "My efforts
are focused on capturing a
unique moment in nature without
getting lost in unnecessary
detail. I love the texture of
paint and want the viewer to
enjoy each painting as a
beautiful work of art. My
primary art goals are to
continue to learn and push hard
to get even better. I strive to
make each new painting my best
with the understanding that
perfection is always going to be
just out of reach.”
A Note About Chip Brock from
Becky Stephan, Gallery Owner:
"Chip Brock's paintings are
Alaska's most intriguing
contemporary wildlife works in
years. While Chip
maintains a representational
perspective on all his work,
there is fluidity and loose hold
on the strokes that make him
even more masterful than many of
Alaska's wildlife artists of the
past. Chip is unfailingly
a complete, well-rounded artist
with as much promise to become
quite important to Alaska's art
scene as any other."
