Layne Kendig

Layne Kendig was born in York. Pennsylvania in
1938. As a boy he liked to draw flowers and trees.
His mother gave him his first oil painting set when
he was 9. He painted trees, flowers and still lifes
of fruit. He moved to Ohio in his early teens. As a
young adult, with family, there wasn’t any time for
artwork.
At the age off 55, he became interested in painting
again as therapy following a serious illness. Watercolor
painting has given him a zest for life as no other medium
has. His work is exhibited in many galleries in Northeastern
Ohio. His work has a quality of a fine draftsman
and his use of light and color show his individual
approach to watercolor.
He has taken watercolor workshops in Maine,
Pennsylvania, and Ohio, working with leading artists.
His love of painting has turned into a full time career
as an artist and instructor. He is an active member of
the Whiskey Painters of America and is also an associate
member of the Ohio Watercolor Society. He has won
numerous awards for his paintings and has been
featured in newspaper and magazine articles.
Recently his artwork was selected for the seasonal
holiday cards distributed by the Cleveland Sight Center.
Presently he is teaching watercolor classes at
Willoughby Hills City Hall, Willoughby Hills, Ohio
