William Kale Troutman was born and raised in Oklahoma City and now resides in Dallas, Texas. Kale has always been drawn to the creative side of life. Growing up his mother opened his eyes to the world of art, giving him an outlet to fully express his emotions and thoughts. They would sketch landscapes, their beloved dogs and horses for hours on end. Later in life Kale has transitioned to a mixed media, abstract artist on paper and canvas. Giving him that same outlet to express his views on life, social issues and personal experiences. He believes there is “something special and powerful when paint hits the canvas and the adventure begins”, bringing a mantra to life in the eyes of his own.
