He is highly esteemed in his field and will become part of a community of other distinguished artists, from a variety of professions within the creative sector, who aim to inspire and support the next generation.

As Artist in Residence Kenneth will raise the profile of the creative arts within Kellogg and encourage wider and deeper inter-disciplinary discussion and engagement within the student body, and provide students from a wide range of disciplines with a more rounded experience.
