Artist Bio
Kevin Donegan has been making art for over 15 years. Eschewing traditional education, he chose instead to emphasize mentorship, learning through doing, and living a multifaceted life. He primarily considers himself a sculptor, but flows back and forth between materials and modalities, such that “artist” is the only apt description. Kevin currently maintains a studio in Burlington, VT, which he shares with his partner Susan Smereka.

Artist Statement
Art is for me an organic process; a living, twisting, changing thing. It defies tidy explanations, resists containment, and is always jumping the fences erected around it. So, more than anything else, my art is the jumping, bucking, deeply held desire to roam free, be wild, and share in that expansiveness with others.

Acquisitions Statement
All of Kevin’s work is “free” to take home. First come, first serve. However, if you care to acquire a piece, he asks that you consider making a contribution to his practice. And in this case, HCA will also receive a 35% commission of said contribution. Please be advised, there can be unique considerations to the care, transport, and installation of his work. If you are interested, he would love to have a conversation!
“Free,” you may wonder? Why? Kevin has long had frustrations with the subjective nature of valuing and monetizing art, and the exclusivity that can be associated with it. He wants his work to be accessible to anyone who is moved by it and wishes to encourage collectors of all demographics. He trusts you, the viewer, to determine for yourself what his work is worth (relative to your own financial position). He also acknowledges that the ability to give work away comes from a place of privilege (he supports himself elsewhere) and doesn’t intend to undermine other hard-working artists. For Kevin, the most important thing is to keep making art and to shepherd it out into the world where it can be seen and felt.
