Short Artist Biography: Kevin was born in Kelvington, Saskatchewan and is a member of the Yellowquill First Nation and Peter Chapman First Nation. Kevin’s exposure to art happened at an early age, as he recalls seeing drawings and paintings created by his uncle, Jerry Whitehead, who would later become instrumental in helping to launch his career. Kevin studied art in British Columbia and then returned to Saskatchewan where he enrolled at the U of S to continue his studies, but quickly realized that the art was becoming more dominant thus committing to it full time. Art and education have been constants throughout his career, which has led to a collaborative approach in creating class murals with many schools throughout Saskatchewan. The importance of family is the central core of his paintings. Kevin's paintings can be found in various public and private collections throughout Saskatchewan, across Canada and around the world.
