“The Whimsical World of Kyle Allan Designs” 1st Thursday Artist Exhibition & Artist Reception

Known around Santa Barbara in his dark jean overalls, Kyle was taught to draw by his father where he grew up on a 9-acre alfalfa farm in Blythe, California, and developed a love for tractors and other farm machinery. 

Kyle’s artwork can be described as whimsical and truly one-of-a-kind.  In his early years, he started with pencil drawings of trucks, then evolved to tractors rendered in pen and ink.  As his designs began to evolve, he added color, patterns, and backgrounds, created solely from his imagination.  Kyle’s talent is engineering each tractor so that no two are alike and he can tell the viewer exactly what each mechanical part can do.

In collaboration with Downtown Santa Barbara 1st Thursday’s Art Gallery Events, Santa Barbara Art Works presents, “The Whimsical World of Kyle Allan Designs”, a Summer Art Collection of original, whimsical, design drawings from the creative imagination of resident artist, Kyle Allan. On display and for purchase will be Kyle Allan’s drawings from as far back as 40 years.  Join us at the gallery for sangria, hours d’ oeuvres, and live vocalist, Beau Wilding.
