Cumberland Plateau studio
A working painter's cross-section — landscape, portrait, interior. Thirty years, roughly two hundred canvases held back. Everything here is available or represented.
“The point is to keep moving. To keep making.”— Keith Killebrew · on painting for thirty years
The work
Slow reading. Studio notes, workshop recaps, and the occasional argument about color. New entries when there's something to say.
The mountain has a season where the greens go blue for about two weeks. This is what I learned from trying to catch it, and why I mostly failed.
How it works
01
Tell me about the space, the subject, and the timeline. Every commission starts with a conversation.
02
We align on size, medium, palette, and budget — in person or over a call.
03
The work is made slowly, in layers. You’ll see progress along the way — never a surprise at the end.
04
Finished, varnished, and delivered ready to hang — by hand locally, or crated and shipped.
