The Ark Kevin Sloan
Artist Kevin Sloan’s featured cover art, The Ark, is refl ective of the theme of his current works: the exploration of natural history with a sense of wonder and curiosity. He explains, “The natural world, now more understood and familiar than in the past, is increasingly threatened. This makes it once again rare and exotic.” Sloan deftly employs a combined allegorical, social and political lens in his paintings to start a conversation about our relationship with nature in the modern era. His artistic journey in “magic realism” most recently led to a Florida Individual Artist Fellowship. He’s shared his artistic knowledge and passion through teaching positions with the University of Wyoming and San Francisco State University, among others. Sloan earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting from the University of Arizona, in Tucson, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University, in Philadelphia. Many galleries and public collections exhibit his work in the U.S. and internationally. Sloan’s unique compositions are inspired by his extensive travels around the world. He makes his home in Denver, Colorado.
