Artist Jess Perna
Kevin was born in Boston, Mass and lived many years in New York City until finally
settling in Los Angeles, where she has lived until the present. Her family was
comprised of aunts and uncles who were musicians and painters, a grandfather who
was a tailor in Europe and later a suit designer in the US and a grandmother who
was an interior designer. Her parents were in the interior design business as well and
worked on the houses of the Kennedys, Herters, Lodges and many of the most
prominent families in Boston. The artistic environment created by this family
undeniably fostered a creative urge in the younger generation.

Kevin is a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. She also
attended the Art Students’ League and the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
She has been painting and drawing since the age of seventeen. Her areas of work
include painting, interior design and fashion design.

A list of her creations include: paintings, apparel of fabric, lace and leather,
draperies, curtains, fur throws, designer pillows, quilts, duvets, cushions, custom
lamp shades, valances, cornices, wall decorations, murals, Venetian plaster and Faux
finish walls.

Kevin has worked for many of the most prominent celebrities of our time.  She has
made costumes for concerts, music videos and television shows, including Michael
Jackson’s Beat It and Thriller jackets, clothes for Madonna, leather apparel for
Elizabeth Taylor, Andy Gibb and many others (see partial list below) including
skating costumes for Olympian Michelle Kwan.
