The Eastern Shore's landscape, waterways and open skies provide daily inspiration for creating images, both representational and non-objective. The challenge is to convey the emotions inherent in the process of applying paint to canvas and paper.

I draw and paint in graphite, Prismacolor pencil, acrylic, and oil. I am inspired by the overt beauty found in the world along with the collateral, or unintended, beauty life reveals to us when we’re bold enough to look. Persistent subjects and themes in my work are birch trees, oysters, Canada geese, and more recently, capturing the strength and beauty of our differences in a climate of deep racial, political, and moral divide.

Kevin's highly original work is painted on glass, from behind with acrylics and other mediums.
“This is what God led me to, and me saying thank you to God. I use acrylic latex with other mediums on glass, painting blind from the back of the glass. I started pencil drawing in the seventh grade. Painting came later. God and recovery is why I got back into painting on glass after 30 years."

Pastels
119 High St., Chestertown, MD 21620
Pastel is a direct and colorful medium, ideal for depicting my favorites subjects--the landscapes of Maryland's' Eastern Shore, coastal Maine and rural Nova Scotia. I enjoy sharing this fascinating medium with students and visitors beyond the formality of gallery openings. A studio visit is a great way to see the entire process, from beginning sketches to the finished pastel.

Guest Artist @ Robert Ortiz Studios, 207 S. Cross Street, Chestertown, MD 21620
I received a BA in Studio Fine Arts from Marist College in 2005, and an MFA in Printmaking from Kansas State University in 2008. I utilize various art techniques including printmaking (etching, mezzotint, woodcut, monotype), bookmaking, painting and photography. My subject matter mainly stems from my love of nature. My style comes from my love of black and white photography, high-contrast images, and the energy from lively, vibrant colors. I currently live and work in Chestertown, Maryland.

Photography
308 Park Row, Chestertown, MD 21620
To me, photography is an adrenaline rush. I pursue the nuances and wonders of living creatures and landscapes, whether my image is a coincidence or a moment I waited hours to capture. Birds, animals, flowers, weather, and water beckon. My primary desire is to link humans to nature’s intimacy, reflected in God's palette.

I am a local fiber artist and basket weaver. I use unique and indigenous materials, as well as materials I bring back from my many travels. My work ranges from traditional, sculptured, to contemporary. Some are utilitarian and decorative, while others are purely decorative.

When I retired, I wanted to open a yarn shop to share my love of knitting. What I really wanted to do was knit and teach the love of knitting. With the help of world class knitting instructors, I learned not only how to make my garments handmade rather than homemade, but also how to teach others to do the same. I have taught in Maryland and Maine for 18 years. In my NEW studio you will see beautiful designer garments made with the best yarns in beautiful colors and color combinations.
