Kevin Grass first became interested in art as a child. While in high school, he spent time on a wide variety of commission works, ranging from portraits and landscapes to campaign signs and car decorations. He also apprenticed with a local figure sculptor in his native Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, from the time he was twelve until the sculptor’s death in 1990.
Grass’s formal education in art began at Washington University in St. Louis where he majored in architecture for two years before switching to the visual arts. He received his undergraduate degree in painting and drawing from Washington University in 1990, and earned his master’s degree from the University of Georgia four years later.
After graduate school, Grass began teaching art full-time at Gordon College in Barnesville, Georgia. In addition to teaching, he pursued corporate art commissions, regional juried shows, and had his first solo museum exhibition.
Grass’s current body of work consists of representational landscape and figure paintings and of paintings designed to function as cinerary containers. He exhibits his work throughout the east and southeast and his paintings are represented in museum, corporate, and public collections in Georgia and Florida. Grass resides with his wife and son in Tarpon Springs, Florida where he works as Assistant Professor of Art at St. Petersburg College.
