Kevin’s earliest and fondest memories include being completely absorbed with drawing and painting.

He grew up in Allentown, PA, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Kutztown University.

Influenced early on by his uncle-- a songwriter and radio DJ, Kevin developed a deep love of music. After college he chose a path less traveled, touring and recording for more than a decade as a drummer in an indie rock band.

Subsequently, he moved to New York City with an eye toward combining his love of music with his visual skills. He quickly became a respected and sought-after designer and creative director in media production. He was responsible for creating content for projects for Paul McCartney, The 911 Museum, and the Smithsonian Museum, to name a few.

His creative drive has always dictated his personal choices, so he sold his company, enabling him to return to his original passion full-time. Kevin currently lives in New York City and Palm Springs, CA.

He is once again completely absorbed with drawing and painting.

Artist's Statement

Kevin Goddess is an abstract painter with a nod to the modernist movement, and he seeks to create a personal visual language that expresses and reflects the world around us. Inspired by nature and the modern urban landscape, his work is both architectural and organic. He fills the canvas with geometric shapes and organic forms, which seem both solid and light. His compositions are arrived at through a process of intuitive improvision.

As a drummer, Kevin's rhythmic instincts inform his work, incorporating energetic, textural strokes of acrylic paint. Backgrounds are sometimes scraped and scratched, and often filed with repetitive marks and lines.

His work is in dozens of private collections across the United States.
