"I was drawn to this piece first as a sculpture because I found it visually
compelling but its added musical feature making this piece amusing to pluck
is particularly appealing. It's better than a stress ball! I enjoy
interacting with it from time to time on my desk in the gallery. So often
we view pieces in museums and galleries which we want to touch but are
prohibited. I find the "please touch" museums for children to be
wonderfully stimulating but as adults we haven't lost the urge to explore.
Kevin's work allows us to explore like a child in an adult venue - how great
is that!"
-- Lynn Dunham, Executive Director, GoodConscience Gallery 848, Southampton, New York
"Kevin is a great craftsman, and I think he understands that sculpture is about rhythm and movement. …. He has an intellectual engagement, a sense of making the sculpture work, rather than just welding things together. He's using the principles of design that have been time-honored through art history."
-- Michael Stack, Professor of Art, Pima Community College East Campus, Tucson, Arizona
"I think [the Bronco Brand Birch] is absolutely beautiful, and the best part is, it didn't cost the city anything, not even a committee meeting. It's our first piece of public art."
-- Betty Lynch, City Council Member, Avondale, Arizona
"I love my Shitake Agave - it is perfect! On my first daylight look, and a bright red cardinal (rare in my yard!) flew right over and perched on it! Thank you, thank you! By the way, I couldn't bear to put my caterpillar outside - he lives on my hearth!"
-- Sam Kathryn Campana, Vice President and Executive Director, Audubon Arizona, Phoenix, Arizona
"We were struck by Steelhead the first time we saw it. Architecturally, visually and functionally, it fit beautifully in a very special place in our home and collection."
-- R.W. Butler, Paradise Valley, Arizona
"This has been such a fun process…. The neighbors are quite intrigued and we've had so many complements on her. It's great to have such a unique piece right there in the front as you walk up to the house."
-- Roxanne Heiden, Ahwatukee, Arizona, about her fountain Ahwatukee Falls
"It's still a wonder to me that Kevin was able to create something that addresses what I was looking for based on a brief conversation. It's tactile, relaxing to listen to, and my sighted friends tell me it's beautiful as well. It makes it that much more special because it was made for me."
-- Denise Thompson, Founder and Executive Director, Creating Community Inclusion, Inc., Phoenix, Arizona
"We absolutely love our fountain! It really completes the back yard, and even the inside of the house, since the sound carries into the house, which is in an 'L' around it. Of course, I've relocated my chair for optimum effect and viewing pleasure. As I mentioned at the beginning of our interest, the goal of the makeover of our yard was to open it up, and lift the eyes upward to the big, open sky from our smallish, California yard. Following Convolution's lines definitely completes that effect, from anywhere in the yard or house. A lesser sculpture would have fallen short. Thanks again for everything. We couldn't be more happy with Convolution."
-- Eric Bohm, Walnut Creek, California
"In creating Vortex for our limited space, Kevin came up with an amazing design. I'm getting such a kick out of looking at it from my morning coffee spot in the kitchen. It makes me smile and sets the tone for the rest of the day. With or without the water running, we just love it! I'm looking forward to enjoying it even more from the great outdoors when the weather begins to cooperate."
-- Fran Reich, Scottsdale, Arizona
"I love [Quenched]! Well, I love everything, but that sink is WOW!"
-- Jean Baker, Phoenix, Arizona
"Your growth continues to amaze and excite me."
-- Sandra Aska, artist, Columbus, Ohio
"I am so impressed that you continue to create new and fascinating pieces, Kevin. I'm tickled by Tuned Tails and I love Rust Devil, a visual and aural delight. While I know you are a master, I continue to see growth in your work. It must be very rewarding to continue to find inspiration."
-- Gwen Henson, Tempe, Arizona
"Kevin has some amazing pieces - the water feature sculptures manage to be vibrant yet somehow restful at the same time, a continuing stream of visual intrigue."
-- Jim Veihdeffer, writer/editor. Phoenix, Arizona
"[Flow] is so beautiful. It is amazing to have a real piece of rock instead of that ugly 'fake' rock that fountains are built out of these days….
"I am so glad I discovered Kevin's work online. What a wonderful piece of art. I am so proud of her."
-- Anita Rockett, Rockett Advertising executive, El Paso, Texas
"Kevin's giant, steel caterpillar, Munch, is the first piece of art guests see when they enter our home. First they're taken aback. 'You've got a prehistoric-sized caterpillar up there on your arch!' Then, they praise it for its grace, cleverness, and originality. It's definitely the show stopper in our home, despite the fact that it has lots of competition! Thanks, Kevin, for your virtuosity. Munch is just perfect for us!"
-- Linda and Lou Lewis, PebbleCreek, Goodyear, Arizona
"We love the Vine Fence. Beautiful, creative, one of a kind - like Kevin himself!"

-- Diane Keefe, author of Daily Lifelines for Teens & Preteens, St. Louis, Missouri
"It’s very useful and creative, and everyone comments on it! It is absolutely perfect for the farm. We use it everyday for hats, scarves and coats. I can tell you put your heart into it."
-- Deborah Dawn Shain, Lebanon, Ohio, about Tack Rack
"Kevin’s work has such a special spirit. The fountain he made for my backyard garden fits perfectly, and it always washes away my troubles at the end of a long day."
-- Karen Nestor Speakman, Caterer, Just Great Food, Phoenix, Arizona
"Kevin's work is so incredible! I was thrilled to see his creations. I love the look of steel as art, and outdoors, it just weathers so beautifully. And I love that he incorporates sound into his art."
-- Amy Cooper, Landscape Designer, Amy Cooper Designs, Phoenix, Arizona
