Native Texan Billy L. Keen brings 50+ 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 & the 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, Midwestern University, USAF Squadron Officers School, SMU & Harvard Business Schools, the Upper Room Two Year Academy for Spiritual Formation, and, informally, by the people around him. As an Illustrator, Art Director, and Creative Director, Billy's advertising work appeared in national periodicals, radio, TV, CDs, and print applications from billboards to bumper stickers. He now paints full time.
Recently, a body of work containing 50 paintings by Keen was accessioned by the Museum of The Southwest, Midland, Texas. San Antonio area commissioned works include portraits of Congresswoman Barbara Jordan for a middle school, the 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.
Works by Billy L. Keen are found in private and corporate collections including the U.S. Air Force Art Collection, the San Antonio Art League and Museum Permanent Collection, and the Museum of The Southwest.
