However, after graduating, he ultimately decided to devote himself full time to oil paintings and return to his roots.

Over the past 30 years, Kevin has traveled extensively across the United States to exhibit his artworks. Throughout his travels, he has painted landscapes, often on location, to truly capture the natural effects of color and light. His paintings use intense colors to evoke deep emotions and even sound.
