Biogrpahy Kevin Irvin

Kevin Irvin was born in Evansville, Indiana on July 13th, 1959. Thank God it wasn't a
Friday. His parents, Bill and Nyda Irvin, owned a restaurant / bar called Billy's and then
The Oaks and finally the Gemeca Inn. It goes without saying that Kevin grew up in the
restaurant business and to this day he prefers to have dinner at the bar.

His grandmother was the first person to encourage him in the arts. She would always
introduce him to her friends as the little artist in the family. It was his grandfather
however who exposed him to the wonder of tools and machines. A tool and die maker,
his grandfather would busy himself with a variety of projects in his basement shop and
allow Kevin to help by cutting out shapes on a scroll saw at age eight. Kevin was
unable to take art classes in high school due to his guidance councilors insistence that he concentrate on business and science.

Upon entering Southern Indiana University, Kevin majored in art. His first class, a design and materials class, was conducted in a wood shop. thinking that he had entered the wrong class, Kevin began to exit the building when he heard his name called. When he returned, John McNaughton ( his teacher and to this day a good friend) began showing slides of his work. Kevin was promptly hooked and eventually received his Bachelor of Science degree with an art major in 1982. He then attended Arizona State University and received his Master of Fine Arts degree in 1985.

Having taught as a teaching assistant and faculty associate at A.S.U., Kevin eventually realized that even though he enjoyed teaching, he really wanted to produce art full time and therefore took out a small business loan and put a studio together in 1986.
