Kevin Andrew

WHO

Undergraduate and Graduate degrees in Civil Engineering, years working in IT Corporate America, + successful Entrepreneur Business Exit.

Lifelong Creative who followed the right path before finally questioning it. Now, painting abstract artwork with intention + meaning.

I want to make a difference in this world and searching for how. I paint, write, and collaborate to force myself to self reflect and grow. My art is an extension of my thoughts, emotions, and biases (conscious + unconscious). 

Every piece has an underlying story, motivation, or therapy session I’m working through. I love seeing which work resonants with who and why. I feel my vulnerability and openness with my work to the world is something that helps set me apart. 

Heavily inspired from the immediacy + colorful imagery of graffiti, I began my career with spray paint. I’m also inspired by the Art Nouveau movement with its organic, flowing shapes + definitive, bold outlines.

I now work with acrylics + markers pulling from these inspirations, focusing on expression, + wading into the unknown.

Much of my work is influenced by the energetic brushwork of abstract expressionist artists in the early to mid-20th century. Arthur B. Carles, Franz Kline, Joan Mitchell, Hans Hofmann, + Jane Piper.

Whether the piece is about appreciating life before death arrives, the love of a mother, or the importance of traveling, I will talk to anyone about my motivation behind it. I’m not 100% sure the end result, but I feel creating with intent will help reveal my overall life purpose.

ORGANIZED, PROFESSIONAL, + CREATIVE approach to your art project/needs.
