Kevin Fahey was born in the small town of Sayre , in north central Pennsylvania. His first exposure to the art world was in his teens, when he studied oil painting with his Dutch neighbor, Lily Belle Isle. He went on to studies in advertising design at Mohawk Valley College in Utica , New York.
After moving to Vermont in 1981, he started cooking and eventually worked with Arthur O'Connor (Bourbon Street Grill and Mona's in Burlington VT) and Albert Lattanzi, owner of Lattanzi's, on Martha's Vineyard, MA. He has worked as a private chef for 23 years with international clients.
Painting off and on through the years, the decision to paint full-time came and cooking went back burner..literally. Fahey paints in a realistic style,seeking the beauty and mystery in his subjects.
