About the Artist
Kevin Webster
B. 1965
“I want to capture the beauty of nature and the excitement of its untamed wildlife in each work of art.”
Kevin Webster
Kevin is from Birmingham, Alabama and he has been drawing or painting since his early childhood. His passion for art was nurtured by his grandfather, who was an artist. He taught Kevin the basics and then Kevin continued to develop his skills by reading books, watching videos, and hours of practice. Kevin's artistic influence art from Carl Rungius, Richard Bishop, Bob Kuhn and Eldridge Hardie.
After high school, Kevin enlisted in the Marine Corps and then decided to make the military a career. He served over twenty years between the Marine Corps and Army. During this time, he had the opportunity to study with artist from around the world and he was often tasked with producing artwork for the military. Some of these paintings are now displayed in military headquarters and museums.
After retiring from the military, Kevin moved back to Alabama and began a second career as a police and fire dispatcher. He dedicated more time to painting and began showing in art shows and galleries. His primary focus has been on wildlife and sporting art. He has completed hundreds of paintings and many now hang in private and corporate collections though out the country. Kevin is currently represented by Arceneaux Gallery in Homewood, Alabama and Stonehenge Gallery in Montgomery, Alabama.
Kevin retired from his second career in 2025 and is now living his lifelong dream of being a full time artist. He works in oils, watercolors, and also enjoys dry point etching.
Currently living in Gardendale, Alabama Kevin enjoys hunting, fishing, camping and spending time with my family and friends.
Artist Statement
As an artist, I am captivated by the natural world and the thrilling experiences of hunting and fishing. My work seeks to capture the beauty and wonder of the great outdoors, where the untamed landscapes and the resilient wildlife come alive in vivid detail.
Through my paintings and etchings, I strive to transport the viewer to these moments of serenity and adventure. Using a combination of field studies and studio work, I meticulously craft each piece, blending realism with a touch of impressionism. This approach allows me to highlight the focal points of my compositions, drawing the eye to the essence of the subject matter.
The works of renowned artists like Carl Rungius, Richard Bishop, Bob Kuhn and Eldridge Hardie have been a constant source of inspiration, guiding me in my pursuit of capturing the essence of the natural world. Their masterful depictions of wildlife and the great outdoors have shaped my artistic vision, and I aspire to emulate their level of technical skill and emotional resonance.
Through my art, I aim to share my deep appreciation for the beauty and fragility of nature. Whether it's the graceful movement of a majestic elk or the tranquility of a secluded fishing spot, my paintings and etchings invite the viewer to pause, to appreciate, and to connect with the natural world in a profound way.
As I continue to explore and experiment with my craft, I am driven by a relentless passion to create works that not only captivate the senses but also inspire a deeper understanding and respect for the natural world that we all share.
