Kevin Grass Resume

Florida artist Kevin Grass sitting at Albrecht Durer's easel in the Durerhaus Museum in Nuremberg, Germany

My aspirational painting studio would look like like that of the Northern Renaissance master Albrecht Durer. Here, I am sitting at his easel in his home in Nuremberg, Germany, which is preserved as a museum.
