“I had always dreamed of becoming an illustrator,” explains the artist. “But the demands of painting someone else’s ideas finally took it’s toll. I decided that life is too short and that I had to paint from my heart. We’re only given one chance at life, and I had to paint what was important to me. What’s important to me”, says Kevin, “is that I try to capture a little of what God has already created, in each of my paintings. One can obviously see the beauty in God’s creation in the landscape, but for me it is even more profound when I see and experience that beauty in people. There is always something new and awe-inspiring to discover when painting the human figure.”
