Billy L. Keen
A native Texan, Billy Keen brings more than 30 years of artistic experience to his work. His family roots are on the high plains of North Texas near Wichita Falls. His love of the outdoors, wild places, fishing, and hunting, all influenced by a respect for our earth, played a significant role in his childhood development.
Mr. Keen attended the Wichita Falls public schools and Midwestern University, but his education continued throughout his career in the public and private sector. As an Illustrator and Art/Creative Director, his advertising work has appeared in national periodicals, on radio, on television, on compact disc sleeves, and in a variety of other media- from billboards to bumper stickers. He now paints full time.
Works by Billy Keen can be found in a number of private and public collections- notably the U.S. Air Force Art Collection and the San Antonio Art League & Museum Permanent Collection. His commissioned works include a portrait of Congresswoman Barbara Jordan for a middle school, a portrait of the Reverend John Wesley DeVilbiss commemorating United Methodism's bicentennial, a program cover for the San Antonio Fiesta Commission, and even the US Air Force logo on a NASA space shuttle.
We think that Keen's works are especially evocative, giving us a different look at the Southwest, and we are pleased to have him here at Art Gallery Prudencia
