About five years ago Kenny was looking for new art with his wife and came across some exciting pieces. They didn’t get any art that day, but it did spark the fire in Kenny to return to his artistic roots. But unfortunately, he did not back then, but he lost his mom January 6th, 2022, to a Fentanyl overdose. His mom struggled with mental health and substance issues for most of her life. Kenny who has also struggled with substance abuse is now coming up on seven years sober this November 17th. Kenny has strong feelings and emotions on this topic, and he wants to help battle and be an advocate for mental health and substance abuse. To hopefully be some type of positive example of fighting to regain a satisfied sobering life. The loss of his mom the person who shared the gift of art with him sparked Kenny to want to finally get his art out of his system and into existence. Kenny is an action abstract artist, typically using the medium of latex, acrylic paints on canvases.
