I am a high school art teacher in Ohio. I am the product of Teachers. My grandfather was a life-long commercial and watercolor artist. He has and will always be a true inspiration. My art mentor, my high school art teacher, who encouraged me to be who I am today! Teaching students is my my calling. There is no better feeling knowing you've reached a youth. The success of a student determines the success of their teacher.
I am also a colored pencil artist. It is the medium I love, and cannot get enough of. While in college, I found a few books on colored pencil, needless to say I became hooked, and my journey began.

My works have been in National juried shows in Chicago, Illinois and Bethesda, Maryland as well as a few local shows in Ohio.

Drawing, Fishing, Golfing, Music, and hanging with my wife

Kevin,  Thanks for your comment regarding my use of color.  I feel very flattered that having come from an art teacher.  I checked out your gallery; I love the simplicity of some of your drawings.  I especially like the sunflower (I'm painting a 30 x 40 field of sunflowers).  Having been raised in Kansas, I'm especially fond of sunflowers.  Again, thanks for your comments.  Jerry

Hey Kevin,Thanks for your kind words on my work.  I really appreciate them.  Your work is awesome!  To reinforce colored pencil being taken as a serious art medium you shoulc check out some of Bill Nelson's work...he's an illustrator.  Have a good one. -Steven

Kevin,  Your work is amazing.  So lifelike.  I wish I would have had you as an art teacher when I was in school.  I thank you for giving back to the kids and I know you will touch them with your talent.  Keep posting your work - I want to see more!

Thank you for liking " Uncle Bill's Hat" I will be adding more paintings but right now I am in Florida taking care of my brother who just had his shoulder replaced, he is alone so needed me. But hopefully soon I will have some time.


I Love you portraits.

Kevin, speaking of Buckeyes..My dad, a graduate of Ohio State...is the biggest Buckeye fan there ever was....I grew up outside of Cleveland in Pepper Pike.


Crazy! I don't know where Brookville is...?
