Kyle
Polzin was born in Cuero, Texas in 1974. At a young age, his family moved to
Victoria, Texas where he grew up working closely with his father to develop his
artistic skills. Craftsmanship is not uncommon in the Polzin family. Kyle’s
father is a gifted artist and both of his grandfathers were skilled craftsmen.
They were also serious outdoorsmen. During his childhood, Kyle spent countless
days on the Texas coast near Port O'Connor fishing the bays and the surf with
his family, and made regular trips to his grandparents to explore the
countryside near Cuero. He attended public schools all the while, graduating
from Victoria High School.
In
1992 Kyle entered Victoria College and began his formal training in the fine
arts, with emphasis in oil painting under the instruction of Larry Shook. After
graduating from college, he had numerous opportunities to continue his artistic
learning experience. In 1996 he participated in instructional sessions under
the master painter, Dalhart Windberg. This highly motivational learning
experience helped to launch Kyle’s career in Fine Art.
His
paintings have been featured in Southwest Art Magazine, Art of the West, and on the cover of Texas
Outdoors Journal.
Kyle’s work is finding it’s way into corporate and private collections
worldwide and his popularity is ever increasing. Currently, he resides in
Austin, Texas with his wife Leigh and daughter Kate.
