About the Instructor
Kevin M. Woodcock was born and raised in the suburbs of New York City. After high school he traveled to West Virginia to visit a friend and was attracted to the mountainous beauty of the state. Kevin moved to Morgantown where he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from West Virginia University. He met his wife, Mel, in Elkins through mutual friends. Kevin and Mel moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana where he received his Master of Fine Arts degree in Printmaking and Painting at Louisiana State University. They moved back to West Virginia in 1989 and currently live in Elkins. Kevin creates his visual artworks at his home studio and at Davis & Elkins College where he is an Assistant Professor of Art and the Chair of the Creative Art Department. Kevin teaches Beginning Painting, 2D Design, Color Theory, Screen Printing, Intro to Printmaking, Senior Seminar, Senior Studio, Advanced Drawing and Advanced Painting. Kevin also is involved with the ArtsBank program where he is a board member.
A lot of Kevin’s work is inspired by hiking and camping trips in the Monongahela National Forest of West Virginia. There is a sense of wonder he experiences that compels him to visually express the emotions he feels at some of these places. He says “When a painting or print is going well I don’t think about my surroundings, I get into the piece as if I were there and lose track of time.” “I am interested in showing the movement of wind, light, water and sound that I experience in nature” Kevin says.” The phenomena of the natural environment intrigues me. When I was young the wilderness seemed like a place of mystery and adventure. This sense of mystery and adventure is still with me when I am creating artwork.” Kevin works in the mediums of screen, block and monoprinting as well as acrylic painting.
