Hi, I'm Woody!
Painter & Print Maker
My art is a vibrant exploration of nature, where I experiment with colors and textures to capture the beauty of landscapes and natural elements. Through painting and printmaking, I aim to convey the essence of the outdoors, inviting viewers to experience the harmony and inspiration that nature provides. Each piece reflects my deep appreciation for the environment and my desire to share its wonders through creative expression.

Artist Statement
I am interested in showing the movement of wind, light, water and sound that I experience in nature, the phenomena of the natural environment intrigues me. When I was young, the wilderness seemed like a place of mystery and adventure. This sense of mystery and adventure is still with me when I am creating artwork.” Kevin works in the mediums of screen, block and mono-printing as well as acrylic painting, “Music has a big influence on my work because I listen to some form of music while I am creating my pieces. I find some music actually causes me to envision landscapes and some I use for the energy it gives me to keep going. I am currently working on a series of pieces that are inspired from some of my favorite places in the Monongahela National Forest. When a painting or print is going well I feel like I am in the piece while I am working on it, I get totally into it and don’t notice what’s going on around me.
