From his childhood in rural America RFK moved to New York City in 2003 studying / working in the fashion industry textile designs, window displays, and runway installations. RFK pursued his own creative / cultural experiences through an explorative studio practice and casually showing at galleries in group / solo form.

 

In 2009 RFK was asked by Walk to Art, to host a group tour of Australian art educators, curators and collectors at his Brooklyn studio this led to him being awarded Artist in Residence Melbourne Girls Grammar and a solo show at Forty Five Downstairs. 

​

Since his immigration to Australia in 2014 RFK has been an emerging artist based in regional Victoria.

His work focuses on social constructs and our ability/inability to navigate them; explored through performance, installation and sculpture. The sentient nature of his artistic productions pulsate with audience participation, kinetic sculptures, evolving soundscapes and durational performances.
