Son of artists Clyde and Belva Ball, Kevin has been creating since he was a child. From a young age he decided to become an artist himself with his parents teaching and critiquing his drawings and paintings throughout the years. In the past Kevin has created in a surrealist style straight from his imagination, currently his artwork is inspired by mother nature and what it offers. For him the dunes, waves, and wonderment of the lakeshores in Saugatuck is particularly inspiring as he has gotten in touch with the environment of home in Saugatuck following 29 years of living in New York City. Working out of his parents' old studio with memories of them working side by side, Kevin paints in the serenity of calming music, memories, and the wonderment of nature. The paintings' highly detailed landscapes take months to create as he captures the essence and feeling of the Michigan shores. It’s a full circle, coming home moment for Kevin as he works and lives where he spent much of his formative years.
