Tim Kennedy paints the observed world. He works across all genres and in most cases he works directly from his motif perceptually. Kennedy received a BFA from Carnegie-Mellon University, an MFA from Brooklyn College and he attended the Skowhegan School during the summers of 1979 and 1980. Kennedy has received individual artist grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, the Indiana Arts Commission, the Arts Council of Indianapolis and the Clark Hulings Fund. His work has been reviewed in The New York Sun, The New York Observer and the Indianapolis Star. Articles on his work have appeared in The Artist’s Magazine, American Artist Magazine and Watercolor Magazine. An interview with Tim Kennedy is featured on Larry Groff’s blog Painting Perceptions. He exhibits his work at First Street Gallery in New York where he has had ten solo exhibitions. In 2024 Kennedy retired after twenty four years of teaching from a Senior Lecturer of Painting position at Indiana University in Bloomington.
