Kevin McEvoy grew up on Long Island, NY, where as a boy his passion for art was ignited. He began his earliest studies in drawing and painting by copying Albrecht Durer’s etchings from an encyclopedia, and producing drawing copies of Greek and Roman statuary at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. After high school, McEvoy studied in Valparaiso, Chile. In 2008, he enrolled as a student at the world-renowned Charles Cecil Studios in Florence, the oldest active atelier in Europe.
After several years of training in classical drawing, painting, and art history, McEvoy returned home to Long Island where he began his professional career in drawing and painting. With his work displayed internationally in collections spanning North and South America, Europe, and beyond, Kevin enjoys connecting with collectors and clients of all backgrounds. Having owned and operated both private and non profit studios over a period of twelve years, he also fostered a passion for community development. McEvoy will be visiting The Reboli Center on Saturday, April 23rd, 2022, to offer a live portrait painting demonstration to all visitors. We hope you will join us for this enriching experience. The event is free to attend and no reservations are required. In the event of rain, the demonstration will take place the following day, Sunday, April 24th, 2022 from 1pm - 4pm.
