Kevin Rabishaw

Kevin Rabishaw
Guitar, Ukulele, Mandolin, Art

Born and raised in the Upper Ottawa Valley, Kevin has long had an appreciation for the arts and is a self-proclaimed "dabbler" in visual arts. Artists of all ages and stages will enjoy experimenting with different media, styles, and techniques in their sessions.

Kevin's #1 rule is to have fun:
art is a progression into expression.

An active musician in the community (hear him with his band Gate47), Kevin teaches guitar, ukulele and mandolin to beginners of all ages.
