Originally from Conroe, TX, Kenneth Pierson is a Houston based artist specializing in photo-realism and portraiture. KP holds a Bachelor of Art degree from Illinois State University where he was a member of the men’s championship basketball team.

Kenneth recently finished a series of several murals on and inside Doc’s Steakhouse located at Durham and Washington in Houston.

After returning home in his post college days, KP was a professional sports artist for Sports Legacy Art Galleries in Houston, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, and Arlington. While establishing roots in the local art community, Kenneth has performed live visual art at events like Float Fest, the Kerrville Chalk Festival, Houston Via Colori, and MidtownHOU Chalk on the Block over the past two decades. Kenneth has also shown his fine art in group shows at accessible venues like the House of Blues, the Hardy & Nance Studios, Morton Street Art Gallery, War’Hous, and the Starving Artist Gallery.

Kenneth finds his inspiration quite simply in the nuances of humanity, music, and culture. An illustrator at heart, Kenneth has spent the past several years exploring the properties of paint, mixed media, and design. His fine art often includes realistic drawings of the human form with splashes of color in acrylic paint.
