He uses an alluring blend of acrylics to skillfully craft mesmerizing works that captivate the senses and set imaginations free. His artwork is built upon many layers and washes of paint, texture, ideas, and action. Born on July 15, 1989, Keenan has a unique blend of technical and artistic traits. From a young age, he showed a keen interest in both computers and art. In 2011, Keenan graduated from the University of Redlands with a BS in Computer Science.
