Kevin Veara: Exult
Opens March 16, 2024
Springfield artist Kevin Veara paints eye-popping scenes of birds among imagined and mutant landscapes. His paintings celebrate the vibrant, extraordinary beauty of the birds he observes along the Sangamon River. Equally, his work comments on the impact of human action on native ecosystems.
Kevin Veara: Exult features 16 paintings from 2009 to 2020. Veara is a painter, tattoo artist, naturalist, and birder living just outside of Springfield, Illinois. He holds a BFA from Sangamon State University (now the University of Illinois Springfield) and an MFA from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale.
