Allen Halsey

     Selected Works

Kansas City is both the birthplace and the nurturing ground for Allen's lifelong artistic journey. An innate desire for self-expression led him down various creative paths, with art studies at MU and UMKC enriching his skills. Allen's professional endeavors flourished at Illusions Unlimited Productions, where he lent his artistic prowess to designing theater scenery, murals, and custom decor for parties and trade shows. His artistic legacy extends far and wide, with an abundance of paintings, art projects, and installations adorning the city and its surroundings. Currently, Allen delves into uncharted artistic terrain, intricately carving linework into the substrate, which he then transforms with masterful brushstrokes. Residing in Independence with his wife and two dogs, he continues to inspire and captivate with his ever-evolving artistic vision.
