Guy Kinnear, MFA, is an associate professor of Painting and Drawing in the Department of Art at APU. He is a producing artist seeking to bring his experience as an artist and gallery owner in the Pomona Arts Colony, as well as rebuilding bridges with the contemporary church and the arts, into the classroom to prepare students for a lifetime of art-making. Kinnear is currently researching the human body in art as it relates to visual presentation, sacramental/incarnational communication, the life drawing lab experience, and the visuality of male gender identity as it relates to ancient narratives and contemporary portraiture. Kinnear has taught in the arts for the last ten years and is active in discipleship and men’s ministry. He currently lives and works with his wife, who is also an artist/chaplain, in the city of Azusa.
