Goldsborough Glynn Antiques of Kensington, MD, provided the glasses for Kevin’s photo shoot.
One of Kevin’s hobbies: fly fishing at Lake Placid, NY
Art runs in the family: a painting by Kevin’s mother that now hangs in his Hyattsville home
What do you do on a free Sunday?
“It’s either skiing or a Nats game, depending on the season.”
"I think my wife and I have kept Second Story Books in business all by ourselves."
If Kevin could choose one piece of great art to own, it would be Alberto Giacometti’s L’objet invisible (Hands Holding the Void).

Quote to live by: “All good things…come by grace, and grace comes by art, and art does not come easy,” from Norman Maclean’s A River Runs Through It
“It is because art ‘does not come easy’ that the Corcoran Gallery and College are so important — and why I don’t think of my work as a docent as merely a hobby or pleasant diversion.”
Reyna’s thesis work is part of the NEXT at the Corcoran 2013 exhibition.
