Kermit began to love art at a very early age. During his years in elementary school, he was one of the best artists in his class. The passion and execution of his artwork continued into High School where he remained one of the top artists of his class. He continued his artistic talent by majoring in Art at East Texas State University where he compiled several portfolios and works of art.

Kermit’s work has been entered into several art shows, including:

Kermit put his passion for painting and drawing on the back burner spending time working, being a family man, raising his two sons, and dedicating most of his spare time singing. However, upon his retirement, the artist was inspired to relaunch his painting career and display some of his many works done in the past, as well as current/new works.

Kermit currently serves as Vice President for Stepping Into Destiny Artists Guild.
