About the new exhibit “Shared Visions” We are looking forward to our next exhibit ‘Shared Visions’ with Artist Billy Keen and Tim McMeans. “When I think about the landscape of the plains (the llano), I think about the coexistence of emptiness and fullness. In this body of work, everything is also something else. I’m struck by the phenomenon of memory and how it relates to the landscape”-Billy Keen "Wood, paint, smoke, and ink. Objects, animals, abstractions, and text. Everything is connected and everything is intentional. Memory informs the concept and creative process with the ultimate hope of a shared connection." -Tim McMeans About Billy Keen Native Texan, Billy Keen brings more than 30 years of artistic and illustration experience to his work. His family roots are on the high plains of North Texas near Wichita Falls. Mr. Keen's love of the outdoors, wild places, fishing, hunting, and respect for our earth, played a significant role in his childhood development. Mr. Keen was educated in Wichita Falls public schools, later at Midwestern University, and throughout his career in the public and private sectors. As an Illustrator and Art/Creative Director, his advertising work has appeared in national periodicals, radio, television, compact discs and a variety of print applications from billboards to bumper stickers. He now paints full-time. Works by Billy Keen are found in several private collections along with the U.S. Air Force Art Collection and the San Antonio Art League & Museum Permanent Collection. His commissioned works include portraits of Congresswoman Barbara Jordan for a middle school, Reverend John Wesley DeVilbiss commemorating United Methodism's bicentennial, a program cover for the San Antonio Fiesta Commission, and the US Air Force logo on a NASA space shuttle
