JULIE & KEVIN ZUCKERMAN

Kevin Zuckerman

Kevin Zuckerman was born in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. and grew up in Japan, Thailand and Greece. He returned to the United States to live in Washington D.C. and Chicago and now lives and works in New Mexico.

At the age of 18, Kevin entered Chicago’s American Academy of Art. He continued his private training with the master painter, Eugene Hall, until Hall’s death in 1985. Kevin traces his artist lineage from Eugene Hall who was the protégé of the Russian painter, Vladimir Zlatoff- Mirsky who in turn studied in Moscow under the Great Russian painter, Ilya Repin (1844-1930). To this day Kevin still paints on the original easel handed down to him through this lineage.

Following art school, Kevin lived and painted in Spain and Switzerland. In 1992, he was commissioned to create a mural for the Siemens Corporation Headquarters in Bern. In 2001 the Albuquerque Journal named Kevin the Emerging Artist of the Year. In 2002, The City of Albuquerque commissioned numerous murals as well as a 21 foot bronze sculpture of Sandhill Cranes in full flight.

Kevin’s work is found in The Albuquerque Art Museum collection, as well as part of the permanent display as part of the New Mexico State Capitol collection in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Along with his painting and sculpting, Kevin has executed artwork for Hollywood motion pictures.

Kevin Zuckerman has created artwork for private and public collections throughout the United States and in Europe.
