Join us for a First Friday art show with Kevin Nettleingham! Nettleingham has been painting prolifically since the summer of 2022. For the past 25 years he has been best known as the owner/operator of Nettleingham Audio, a full-service recording studio in Vancouver, USA. Kevin draws his artistic influences from life experiences, travel, and inspiration from masters such as Klee, Kandinsky, Picasso, etc. Kevin is a mere infant in the art world and looks hopefully to the future with no expectations other than self-satisfaction and the opportunity to share beauty. He hopes you will join him on his journey.
