Kent Addison, Maryville University emeritus professor of art, passed away on April 26, 2020.

Addison spent his entire teaching career at Maryville and started the University’s art department. He began his art career in sculpture and was commissioned publicly and privately. His St. Louis landmark pieces include White Pine Statue in Forest Park and West County Assembly of God’s cross at Highway 40 at Maryville Centre Drive, as well as various sculptures on the Maryville campus.

Later, Addison transitioned to watercolor painting and became nationally recognized. He was recently awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Watercolor USA Honor Society.

Outside of his career, Addison devoted himself to his family and his faith. He is survived by his wife, Sharon Lee Addison, children and grandchildren.
