Kentucky artist uses the Sun to create unique art  WEKU

The sun is hot this Saturday morning overlooking the Ohio River at Newport on the Levee in Northern Kentucky. It’s a perfect day for Louisville artist Billy Keith to do street art. Keith calls himself a solar combustion artist.
“I use the sun and giant magnifying glasses to make images into wood with the sun and a focal point that’s about 2000 degrees,” explained Keith.

Artist Billy Keith uses a Fresnel lens and the power of the sun to create art.
