Ep. 155: William Kennedy

Welcome, William Collin Kenedy, to In-Focus Podcast Number 155. We first spoke with him on In-Focus Podcast Number 119.  Since then, William has been very busy in his first year as an emerging painter. He is a contemporary artist and graphic designer. He has developed an impressive portfolio with his many years in the design industry. William Collin Kennedy was born in Washington, DC, where his creativity started at a young age. He simply began drawing any and everything around him. As a self-taught artist, he has been a freelance designer and illustrator for the past 10 years. Most recently, William, in a little over 1 year to be exact, included contemporary painting to his long list of artistic talents and achievements. Painting is now his main focus. His work focuses on urban culture, with each piece having its specific and personal meaning. He has worked with various artists, including those in fashion and music, all over the world. William has exhibited in London, with solo exhibits in Massachusetts, and will have his first solo exhibit at the Blackbird Gallery in July of 2023.  The Artist Index co-founder and host, Ron Fortier talks to William Kennedy about his background, his passion for art, and his continual rise as an emerging artist.  The In-Focus Podcasts are up close and personal conversations with the makers, performers, supporters, and cultural impresarios of the remarkable creative community of South Coast Massachusetts including New Bedford, Dartmouth, Fairhaven, Westport, and beyond.
