About Us

ARTIST STATEMENT: If one were to ask what type of artist I consider myself or describe my style I would say that I am an "Eclectic Visualist". This is because as an artist I’m always looking for new discovery and I create a variety of work from a traditional contemporary, modern to a digital tech style. I feel that artist like musician become categorized because it is easier for someone to market and package what you do.  I received my B.F.A from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1988 but didn’t come out on to the art scene until 1990. Two years after finishing college I began to explore the nuances of visual art with more precision. I would stroll through the galleries of SoHo were I could rethink about my creative processes, technique and genre.  My debut as an artist was at an Expo at the Javits Center in New York in 1990 where I had gone by my artist name (KEM). I premiered my art work in the form of buttons and wearable art sportswear. I then realized that there was a market for my work with its style of vivid colors and animated expressions.  I shifted my gears somewhat towards the realm of education and became a visual arts instructor in New York City public schools.  At present I am the founder of ASG-Artizfacts Studio Gallery.  

  In 1990  Artizfacts Visual Arts Specialist was founded by artist Kevin E McDowell as visual arts communications hub. Its goal is to strives on conveying thought provoking concepts through the means of creative expression and multi-media.  

  It's inevitable... like hearing Thanos talking in my ear. It only makes sense with the advancement of AI that I tackle it as an artist. That being said it's important I think that many artists do the same. I have truthfully been very resistant do to the fact the AI now shifts the power of influence. Creative people have always held a voice in molding the world by what we see, hear, touch ,etc. Years of craft disciplines are potential undermined, hours of dedication and sacrifices undervalued with the click of a mouse. Added insult... the non creatives narrative of I'm an artist now paved by technologies beyond the comprehension evaluated by everyday enthusiasts. So the question..do I as an artist sit back or take the helm merging my classic artistic learned skillsets to the convergence. As I explore this frontier I will share my endeavor as an experienced artist....here we go!
