until returning to Los Angeles to study for her bachelor's degree at Immaculate Heart College and her master's degree at University of Southern California. She was the head of the art department at Immaculate Heart College.
[1]
where she also taught a wide variety of different painting styles. Her artwork contained her own spiritual expression and love for her God.
[2]
Kent's primary medium was screen printing, also known as
Serigraphy
.
[3]
She became self-taught after she sent away for a DIY silk screening kit.
[4]
Her innovative methods pushed back the limitations of two-dimensional media of the times. Kent's emphasis on printing was partially due to her wish for democratic outreach, as she wished for affordable art for the masses.
[5]
Her artwork, with its messages of love and peace, was particularly popular during the
social upheavals
of the 1960s and 1970s.
