Kevin has also donated many hours of instruction and adjudicating at local schools and clubs. His  comment to many people who say they have no artistic talent is: "Talent by itself won't get you very far--practice and hard work will." He says the part he enjoys most about doing portraits is capturing the personality of the subject and putting the sparkle in their eyes to breathe life into the picture.

  In addition, Kevin has donated charcoal portraits for special occasions, such as at the passing away of friends and for the families of others who have had such a loss. These offers have included the students of Columbine High in Colorado and other accident victims. He is now extending this offer to the families of fallen soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan. "I feel strongly that our soldiers and their families have given more than any one of us can fully appreciate. This is my small way to say thank you and I hope this portrait gives some comfort at a time of loss." Visit our U.S. Soldiers page or call or e-mail for more information.

Some of his other hobbies include scuba diving, photography, astronomy, and inventing.
