Kevin R. Roberts is a freelance writer and photographer who is best known for a series
of collectible art posters showcasing his colorful photographs of the landmark
neighborhood bars and restaurants of New Orleans.
As a former beer truck driver and import-export freight solicitor in the city, Kevin brings
a unique perspective and intimacy to his art as only a native could. He knows the city
and appreciates her idiosyncrasies. Born in Hollygrove in 1953, he grew up in River
Ridge where he graduated from East Jefferson High School and Louisiana State
University. After twenty years of relocations and buyouts in the Consumer Electronics
industry (RCA, Philips, LG) he quit it all; and moved back to his beloved hometown to
start a new career.
Now, adapting to a changing marketplace, he has developed a interesting product line
of impulse-priced Commemorative Prints designed to appeal to locals. This 20-piece
collection of archival lithographs include many sentimental, pre-Katrina images like
Hubig's Pies, River Shack Tavern, and the New Canal Lighthouse. They are viewable at
his web site KevinRRoberts.com.
