Clint Covey

I grew up in West Virginia, where my first spark of interest in art came from seeing Van Gogh’s Starry Night in seventh-grade art class. That moment set something in motion, though I didn’t pick up painting until much later. I taught myself through books and videos, carrying the same curiosity that drew me to music and theater.

Acting was an early artistic outlet. My experience in theater taught me the value of improvisation, stage presence, and the power of symbolism. Music has also been a constant companion. I began piano lessons at seven, moved on to guitar, and played in several bands. This path eventually led to music production, where I ran a recording studio for several years. Today, I continue to produce records as a freelancer.

I began painting to explore my creativity and fell in love with the process and the unique perspective it offered. Painting recaptures the sense of wonder I had as a child. It keeps me looking at the world with new eyes. I am still experimenting, still growing. Over time, I’ve learned to trust my taste, to hold onto what resonates and let go of what doesn’t. Each painting is part of that ongoing search, and it’s my pleasure to share the journey with you.
