Many of us know him from the Cameron Art Museum where he has taught for several years. He also teaches art at Cape Fear and Brunswick Community Colleges.

Kevin has been asked to speak on color, one of the fundamentals of any art medium. We will learn a lot from his impressive understanding of color.
