Artist Reception with Kevin Babb

During his early years, Kevin was exposed to art in everyday objects: coloring books, PLAYSKOOL blocks, mom's quilting patterns, mid-century furniture, cartoons, magazine graphics, and a treehouse, or two. In high school he was well suited for shop classes and drafting. He went to LSU and earned a Bachelor of Architecture Degree in 1981. Kevin was initially employed at Post Architects for 21 years and then with Cockfield Jackson Architects for 24 more years. All the while, Kevin continued to make art in a variety of media including drawing, painting, stained glass, making collages, frame making, furniture and cabinetry making, home remodeling, and lawn-mowing patterns.

Recently retired from architecture, Kevin will be continuing his passion for creating art. He lives in Baton Rouge, LA with his wife Carol, an educator, and their dog Lucy. They have two adult children, Nathan and Rachel.
