ABOUT ME

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.

HOBBIES

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

02/29/2008 11:41:17 HiKevin- Your gallery is very cool!-no wonder you are a teacher! I love to here when others give back the gifts that they have. Cold? I am freezing here in MN we have had a very cold winter. I guess that is good because it forces all us to stay in our studio's. Very nice work! Ta Ta for now- Deb

02/27/2008 21:57:16 Kevin, Thanks for the nice comments on my painting. I've done some colored pencil and your work is great. I liked the way you could start and stop without any cleanup but I got frustrated with the time it took to cover the surface. The color layering experience is invaluable though and has helped in my painting. I also enjoyed airbrushing - have you ever given it a try? John

02/27/2008 17:13:43 Hi Kevin, yes, music is everything. I go through one cd after another when I paint. I end up associating songs with a lot of my work. I'm glad you're developing the Gaze series. I like the interplay of the subject and the background environment. That's where I see the story. Somehow tying all these strangers (?) together. My "blogs" are not very personal, or updated for that matter. I just copied my newsletter I send out to people and pasted it in case anyone wants to attend one of my shows, etc. I need to write another one... It's at the bottom of my priority list. What grades do you teach? Amy

02/27/2008 09:41:17 Great to see your work! Actually, Gaze 1 is my favorite. It works very well compositionally, yet breaks all the rules I was taught in my early explorations. A couple of years ago, I went to the national competition of the colored pencil society. Great fun! No question about the seriousness of those folks! I very much appreciate the comments you offered when visiting my gallery. A small amount of encouragement goes a very long way. Also, I'm glad to hear that you enjoy your teaching work. So many things work against true teaching in these times (No child left behind?) I look forward to seeing your next drawing... Robert Maynord

02/26/2008 06:32:56 Hi! I know Brookville, I got married there. If you are as good a teacher as an artist then you are a hell of a teacher! Congratulations. I usually live in Dayton. I am planning on opening a gallery when I go back. I will keep you mind!

02/25/2008 07:56:57 Hey Hey! This buckeye has also been cold lately. The weather in Oklahoma is so fickle this year; we have 60 degrees one day and 20 degrees with snow the next.
