Learning to improve one’s skills as an artist is a journey. By enhancing our understanding of depth, composition, color, and allegory, we can explore techniques to strengthen the artist’s abilities and give them a clearer vision of the message they want their artwork to convey to the viewer. In our group, we will identify and build on your understanding of the fundamentals of perspective, composition, color structure, and form to strengthen your artwork.

MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST
Raised in an artistic family, Kevin entertained thoughts of becoming an artist at an early age. He could often be found with a brush in his hand and a pencil tucked behind his ear. In high school, Kevin took his first serious art classes, and the muse took hold of him and hasn’t let go. Inspired by artists like Norman Rockwell and N.C. Wyeth, Kevin was determined to study and pursue a career in illustration. However, he was increasingly drawn to the Italian Renaissance artists. Inspired by traditional drawing techniques, he switched his major to fine art drawing and painting.
Thanks to his studies in both fields, he has been able to pursue opportunities in both illustration and fine art throughout his career. Kevin’s artwork has been shown across the north and southwestern United States throughout his career. As an illustrator, his artwork has been published both nationally and internationally.
Throughout his career, Kevin has always returned to the landscapes of his youth in Arizona. His love for the Sonoran desert of his home state grew into a love of the western United States. Kevin says his muse is “Western and will always be Western.” He loves painting the north and southwest, and particularly enjoys the opportunity to get out of civilization and into nature where he can paint and not see another soul. “There is a sense of solitude and sometimes loneliness to the vast panoramas of the Western landscape,” Kevin says. “There’s a rugged beauty of the Western landscape that I’m really drawn to, whether it’s the low Sonoran deserts of Arizona, the canyonlands of Utah, the coastlines of California, or the high alpine mountains of Idaho and Wyoming. I love the north and southwest and all its many variations. It never fails to inspire me. I find more beauty in the majestic tall pines of Idaho than in any of the great cathedrals of Europe.” Kevin’s range of skills is well-suited to capture such broad and varied landscapes. He is known for his grand skies, bold color, and thought-provoking woodlands.
