Kevin Kehoe - Western Therapy (60)

Kevin Kehoe began his remarkable career as a fine art painter just a little over eight years ago. Though he had attended Art Institute of Boston, it would be another 30 years before he would pick up his paint brushes again. With the loving support of his wife, he abandoned a successful career in advertising to pursue fine art painting full time.

Kevin refers to himself as a painter with a camera. However, his thoughtfully composed photos are merely a jumping off point for his exquisite, expansive paintings that stir the heart. His goal is not to simply render a photo into a painting. Rather, Kevin seeks to express his subject matter – as he puts it – “like an emotionally conjured image.” His paintings are about how he wants to recall a moment in time in his mind and heart.

Struck by the epic and awe-inspiring vistas of the American West, his paintings often capture the wonder and wanderlust of the West. Kevin says of the West: “In short, it’s where you lose yourself to find yourself… The West is good medicine.” Indeed, in this stress-filled world, Kevin Kehoe’s magnificent paintings are just the right prescription and dosage we need of Western Therapy.
