About Quent Cordair

QUENT CORDAIR was born in 1964 in southern Illinois, raised “under a church pew,” as the saying went, in a fundamentalist Christian sect, an insular community in which the devout were forbidden the enjoyment of movies, pop music, television, school sports, alcohol, jewelry, and most other temporal pleasures worth mentioning. While many things in his youth were proscribed, the reading of fiction wa QUENT CORDAIR was born in 1964 in southern Illinois, raised “under a church pew,” as the saying went, in a fundamentalist Christian sect, an insular community in which the devout were forbidden the enjoyment of movies, pop music, television, school sports, alcohol, jewelry, and most other temporal pleasures worth mentioning. While many things in his youth were proscribed, the reading of fiction was not, and it was amidst the library shelves that his eyes were opened to a marvelous and exciting world beyond the church’s walls. He immersed himself in boys’ mystery books and was captivated by the stories of Stevenson, Defoe, Wyss, and Doyle. By his teens, he was discovering the dramatic tales of Fleming, Follet, Sienkiewicz and Hugo, the ingenuity of O. Henry, and the genius of Ayn Rand.
At seventeen, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps with the goal of becoming a career fighter pilot, but by the time he was accepted to attend the Naval Academy, he had learned that the only work that could ever truly satisfy him was the creation of the kind of visions that had inspired him through his youth. After completing his four-year enlistment, he launched his writing career.
His first short story was published in 1991 by the Atlantean Press Review. To support himself while writing, he waited tables, worked as a security guard, stocked groceries and worked the graveyard shift at a mail-processing center. While working a desk job at an auction firm, he began seeking paying work more in line with his artistic proclivities. After teaching himself how to paint, he began taking portrait commissions while working at his easel in a local park, and was soon exhibiting at art fairs.
The Quent Cordair Fine Art gallery was opened in 1996 in Burlingame, California, where the work of other painters and sculptors of like vision were offered in addition to Quent’s own portraiture, figuratives, landscapes and still lifes, now collected by an international clientele. In 2008, Quent and his wife, Linda, moved the gallery to its present location in downtown Napa, where today they offer the finest selection of Romantic Realism in the world. Quent’s present artistic efforts are devoted to his writing: in addition to publishing short stories, he is completing a novel of grand scope, inspired by his life’s journey and passions.
The Cordairs live in Napa with their cats, Lexie and Sadie, and their border collie, Mollie.
