Kevin Pickard
GEAG 2023 Artist of the Year
“I guess I’m finally getting a little more comfortable with the title of “Artist” although I do struggle with it still. It took me over fifty years to test the waters of doing art, but I dove in and now I often feel I’m in over my head. But that’s the way to do it, right ? Try everything, hopefully succeed at some, Do what makes You happy. And if you’re blessed and a little lucky you’ll make others happy with what you’ve done too. That’s success!”
