Kevin Maddrey has been practicing art for close to three decades. While studying computer animation in Baltimore he took a painting course studying under Symmes Gardner. That one class shifted his focus from animation to painting. After graduating, he moved out to Yosemite, California where he spent the next 10 summers learning how to paint en plein air. With nature as his main teacher, he flourished painting the grand Sierras and the rivers of the Tuolumne Meadows.
Currently he resides in the town of Twentynine Palms in the Mojave Desert where he is painting, teaching and working on building a desert garden oasis for himself and for other artists to come and be inspired by the beauty and tranquility of the desert.
