Kevin Dayhoff May 12, 2010 Kevin, age 56, is a Westminster native who lives on Uniontown Road with his wife, Caroline Babylon. Kevin has been a freelance writer and artist since 1971; a self-employed artist and businessman since 1974 and exhibiting art since 1981. As a landscape, collage, mixed media assemblage, sculpture artist, writer and photographer; he has had a life-long pervasive interest in spatial relationships and the juxtapositioning of incongruent objects. After graduating from Westminster High School in 1971, he attended Elon College two years before quitting college to pursue a career in writing and art. He returned to Westminster and worked at a variety of jobs. Dayhoff soon put aside his drawings and collages and concentrated increasingly on technical writing and landscape designing where he could turn his art into a finished product that the greater community could more easily understand - and for which he was paid. In 1974, Dayhoff started his own business as a landscape designer, contractor, and nurseryman. As the business continued to get established, he found that he could spend more time on his first loves art and writing. In June and July 1981 Dayhoff had his first art show, a one-person show at the Theatre Project in Baltimore, followed by a group show, "Four at 409" at Gallery 409, in Baltimore in October 1982 It was in the 1982 time period that Dayhoff met Carroll County artists Linda Van Hart and Robert J. Waddell while he was exploring photocopier art. Hart and Waddell opened-up more opportunities for Dayhoff to explore art and have opportunities to show. In addition to encouraging Dayhoff to continue exploring photocopier art and collage, Hart and Waddell also introduced Dayhoff to Mail Art. Dayhoff continues to participate in ( - Ryosuke Cohens long-running Brain Cell Fractal series, from Osaka, Japan, (from 1988) to this day. Beginning with a June 1983 one-person show, Dayhoff has had the opportunity to display art locally at the Carroll Arts Center on five occasions over the last 3 decades. In addition to the Arts Center, he has had about six shows at Western Maryland College from 1985 to 1991, including an extensive one-person retrospective show, Tales of a Disenfranchised Hilltop Artist/Farmer, in February 1990. Dayhoff retired from landscape design, contracting and raising nursery stock after 25 years in the business, in 1999. From 1999 to 2005 Dayhoff served as an elected official for the city of Westminster; from 1999 to 2001 as a councilmember and 2001 to 2005 as mayor. He currently writes about history, art, agriculture, community, and crime for several publications including Explore Carroll for Patuxent Publishing Co., since June 2, 2005; The Tentacle, since June 9, 2005 and Investigative Voice since February 25, 2010. In the past he has enjoyed collaborating with a number of artist groups, including The Consortionists with Linda Van Hart and Bobby Waddell from 1983 to 1989; the United Art Workers from 1989 to 1991 and most recently with Off Track Art from December 2008 to present.
