Larry Keene Stained-Glass Artist

Larry lives in Northern Kentucky and was diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease (PD) about fifteen years ago.  He became a full-time retiree from his employment as a claims manager several years ago due to complications with his PD. 

His form of art, stained-glass windows and fireplace covers, among many other items, was a craft he started doing as a hobby more than 25 years ago.  Participating in local craft shows gave Larry his start in selling his art.  He has exhibited at the Shaker Village and many other shows in the Northern Kentucky area since.  Most of his work is produced as commission pieces, or he gives them as gifts to family and friends, as well as donations to auctions for non-profits.

Larrys stained-glass fireplace cover that he donated to the Parkinson Support Center of Kentuckiana for a silent auction, resulted in a bidding war during the auction.  The winner was extremely pleased.

Larry has two children, Kate, age 28, a teacher in Oldham County Middle School, and Ben, age 25, a mechanical engineer in the Cincinnati area.

His work was exhibited and sold on April 19th in the Barret Zone art corridor at the Shekinah Studio, during the Parkinson Art Hop, benefitting the Parkinson Support Center of Kentuckiana and supporting artists with PD.
