Name: David Michael Kennedy

Artistic Medium (or media): Photography - palladium printing.

Southwest Connection: I arrived in New Mexico in 1984. My son had just
turned 2 and I was burnt out on New York City and the commercial world. I took
a three-month road trip seeking out a new home and when I arrived in New
Mexico, I knew I was home.

What do you consider your biggest accomplishment: My son, Jesse William
Kennedy, graduating from Naropa University and his amazing writing, art and
work in 8mm film.

What do others consider your biggest accomplishment: I will take a survey and
get back to you on that.

Favorite artist - Why: Irving Penn, for his amazing ability to reach into someone's
soul, his design, use of light and his printing techniques; and Albert Watson for his
style.

Your biggest inspiration: The spirit of the landscape and the People of the
Southwest, Tatanka and my dog Henry, not necessarily in that order.

If I wasn’t an artist, I’d probably be: Dead.
