Biography
Art has woven itself throughout the life of Kevin Powell and into the present day. Inspired by the natural beauty of her surroundings in south Louisiana, Powell began painting with watercolor many years ago but it did not become a passion until adulthood.

In addition to watercolor, Powell loves to create “unique” artwork with encaustic painting. “I adore the process of melting beeswax, adding oil pigments, and applying the paint to the board,” Powell says, “and there is something really exciting about ‘painting’ with a blowtorch!”

Powell has attended many workshops over the years, including the honor of being trained by a prominent encaustic artist in Santa Fe, NM this past year. Currently,

Powell’s artwork can be found in several private collections around the country, as well as in her Bon Temps Studio, located in the beautiful Ozarks.
