About Me
I am Kevin Keith Whitehurst, and I am the Creator and CEO of Arthealthnut.com. Arthealthnut.com is an innovative lifestyle brand of contemporary art with a unique blend of health, wellness, humor, fashion, and optimism. While I embrace the art world and entrepreneurship in my current role, I spent 33 years as a Healthcare technology executive for ResMed until 2023. I have been an artist all my adult life and after some soul searching during the pandemic, I made the decision to pursue my passion in art. Because of my connection with the healthcare industry, and my fondness for positive lifestyle, I started my own business July 2023, and it has been nonstop since then.
The name (ArtHealthNut) is a rather unique word that describes the holistic and positive nature of the company and its products. The brand is unique, and it does have 3 elements that drive the mission. Art – which represents the creative works in the oil paintings, the writings, and characters portrayed in the art. Health – represents all forms of health, wellness, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and an element of mood. Nut – which represents dedication, obsession with art and health, and the humor element.
I recently moved to Dallas, TX to expand the footprint of Arthealthnut.com and to be close to a vibrant, thriving art community. As a person who aspires to make an impact and has passion for life, Dallas is the perfect fit for me and the business.
About the Artwork
The Artwork Reflects Personal Journey
The artwork often draws from deep personal experiences, my healthcare technology career, travels, living in 6 major cities in America, my family, friends, and acquaintances, and exposure to an unlimited amount of art and creativity. This personal connection makes the pieces highly authentic and relatable to our audience. Theres is a channeling of personal growth and observations in the art, which is why it's both distinctive and resonant with themes of wellness, optimism, and reflection.
Purpose-Driven Creativity
Arthealthnut.com, LLC, is not just selling art; it’s promoting a lifestyle centered on health, wellness, and positivity. The focus of intertwining creative and entrepreneurial work with these values shows the commitment to a purpose beyond just business success.
Empathy and Connection
The artwork shows a deep sense of empathy and an understanding of human emotions. This connection might be one of the reasons the art resonates with such a wide audience, including GenZ, millennials, Gen X, and younger boomers.
A Vision of Wellness, Wealth, and Whimsy
My vision for Arthealthnut was clear from the beginning: create art that promotes a positive, healthy lifestyle—while also being elegant, imaginative, and a little unexpected. I wanted my pieces to be thought-provoking and joyful, even humorous. Each painting carries layers of storytelling, symbolism, and a distinct wellness ethos.
My Creative Process
Color is my emotional compass. I often revisit combinations until the mood feels just right. My signature style merges abstract form with figurative portraiture. Somewhere between realism and fantasy, my characters captivate with expressive eyes and flowing colors.
I also take pride in how others experience my work. When I launch new collections, I host art parties and love hearing the unique interpretations that others bring. Often, they see things I hadn’t even considered.
The Message Behind the Canvas
Ultimately, my work is about more than just what you see, it's about how it makes you feel. I aim to inspire others to reflect on their own well-being, to embrace optimism, and to live artfully and cleverly. Whether you're an art collector, a wellness advocate, or someone seeking joy in the everyday, I hope my creations speak to your spirit.
Arthealthnut is not just my brand. It’s my life philosophy—rooted in authenticity, energized by curiosity, and painted with purpose.
