Kevin West is an American visual artist based in Indianapolis, Indiana, US. His work has been featured in We. The Culture: Works by The Eighteen Art Collective, an exhibit in the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields. As part of The Eighteen Art Collective, West's art highlights his experience and the comradery in the Black Community in hopes for people who are outside the community to see its beauty.

Early life and education Kevin West was introduced to fine art in high school after he had the opportunity to participate in an art competition at Georgia Tech. West made the decision to drop out of school to pick up jobs and support his family. He called on Hipskind to join in partnership because he had a background in tech. In 2020, West was selected as an artist to be featured in the Black Lives Matter mural by the Indy10 Black Lives Matter and other community groups and was the contributing artist for the letter "K".
