About the Artist

At the invitation of the then-Soviet government in 1989, Kevin accompanied a traveling solo exhibition of his work across the Soviet Union, and Kevin subsequently hosted two Russian artists whom the government of Mikhail Gorbachev permitted to visit and work in the United States. In addition, the National River Conservation Association commissioned a series of works by Kevin to document the Bio Bio River in Chile prior to construction of a major dam that changed the river’s course and depth forever.

Kevin grew up in Oxford, Maryland, and studied painting at the American Institute in Southern France and the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. As an Officer in the United States Marine Corps, he was recognized for his artistic ability and was assigned the job title of Combat Artist. Kevin also has designed theatrical sets, including for the Washington National Opera.

After a number of years of living and working in the District’s Adams Morgan neighborhood, he now resides and keeps his studio in the historic town of Washington, Virginia.

Kevin is represented in “Little Washington” by the Gay Street Gallery, and also by the Julie Heller Galleries in Provincetown, Massachusetts. He has twice had shows in New York City and has participated in solo and juried group exhibitions around the country.
