Who is Kettle?
Hi there, this is a site that is about the artist Kettle. He was born the son of a carpenter in Central City, Iowa in the 70's who after graduating from the University of Northern Iowa with a BA in Graphic Design, began to paint and create art full time to make the masses happy. His work can be found in galleries and private collections through-out the US ranging from the Whitney Museum of Art in New York to the Monkeyhouse Gallery in Los Angeles. And if your travel over seas his pieces can be seen in Australia, England, Germany and Thailand.
