Marks Have Meaning

Mark-making, Representational and Non-Representational Figures
All of Kevin's artwork are informed by his distinctive mark-making, whether in drawings, prints or paintings, but certain artworks featured in this portfolio feature his various techniques used in a single work to develop both richness and evoke emotional responses to his artwork, that would otherwise render a flatter, more neutral response from the viewer. In his nearly forty-year teaching career, Kevin greatly enjoyed his drawing classes, where he could share his mark-making techniques such as hatching, cross-hatching and tonal drawing with his students. Just as he learned from his students in the classroom, Kevin is continually learning and exploring new drawing tools and paper materials of all kinds, with the result being his most precise expression within a particular artwork.
