Canvas Rebel: Meet Derrick R Kearney



I sat down recently for an interview with Canvas Rebel Magazine. Check it out!


Canvas Rebel: Meet Derrick R Kearney


This year I turned 47. It's been notable for sure. I have remembered points of old, with decade anniversaries marking key events of my lifetime.  I've dealt with challenges, internally and externally. I have gained and lost loved ones. Hopefully, I have left an impact. 

I do not know where my life will be during the next milestone year. Will I still be in this city? This state? This country? Will I work at the same job? Live with or without the same means of travel? How will my health be at that time? Will I even be here to ask? Or if so, in a condition to care?  Will there be anyone else around? I cannot answer those questions nor do I choose to worry about them. Nothing that has happened this year has been in the plan, yet at the same time, everything has been. 

I can remember walking along the beach shortly after my birthday and being asked what I wanted out of this year. My only answer was that I wanted peace. I still want this. It is peace in everything that is desired. Peace in all of my relationships. With God, with myself, with my loves, with even those who wouldn't wish the same peace towards me. Peace enough to sleep each night knowing that I have done the best possible for that day. 

I feel this peace many days. It is peace that brings me to your screens again for this interview. In it, I talk about the rewards I get in sharing my creative talents with the world around me. Go give it a read!

  This is personal 5:30 pm on Friday I'll be at a reception for emerging artists at the Carrollwood Cultural Center. I am honored to be included in this show.  A few things came to mind as I was driving away from the U-haul location, starting the adventure to deliver the pieces. The first one that came I've had this thought a few times on different things as the first words that often come to mind. And I don't want to get political when I say this, but sometimes it's so funny to do. So… My first thought was to quote the sitting president and say “This is a big fucking deal right here!” And I thought that thought instantly popped in like how big of a deal this is, a second thought instantly popped into my head to quote the last president and say that “It’s huge!” And then I got serious for a moment. Yeah, cuz you know, all that makes me laugh. But then I got serious for a moment and I remembered a line from the reel post that I recently made. At times I will get messages

Shroom Beach

Two years ago I painted this piece. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon. Memorial Day weekend plans to soak up the sun were substituted for a lonely afternoon indoors. The television set blaring with the sounds of reggae-rock bands streaming from a California music festival. I should have been watching the crowds of young people enjoying themselves but instead laid on the other side of the house, hiding underneath the bedframe facing the closet. The world had been spinning for some time now. The stress of so many things in my life leading me to this moment. Would someone knock that day? Would I lose my job next week? Is my car going to start? Am I losing another lifelong friend due to the fallout of the election? Will I ever find love again? Who can I call family? All swimming through my head at lightning speed, matching the clouds of rain pouring above the house I had grown into. Is the roof going to hold?  Is her spirit haunting this place? What am I doing with my life? I had never
