Fine Art Painter. Printmaker.
ABOUT ME
“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
Hello, I’m Kennan! I’m a commissions-based artist in San Antonio, TX. I work primarily with gouache and watercolor but also enjoy working with acrylics and graphite.
I married my high school sweetheart, Will, and together we have our 2-year-old son (Ben) and 6-year-old yellow lab (Boston). I’m a full-time mama to Ben, a part-time artist, and a part-time reading/writing tutor! In other words, I don’t sleep. But that’s okay because I love coffee and dark, chilly nights.
Work History
My two passions are art & childhood education. I taught as a special educator for 5 years before deciding to stay home with my son in Jan of 2024. This is also the time that I started painting! Although I grew up drawing/painting, I abandoned the passion in college. See “I’d Painted-Again” under “Stories” for more about that story😉
