About the Artist

Born and raised in Michigan, Ken studied at the Kendall College of Art and Design, and the Royal College of Arts in London. As a professional artist, Ken has participated in many prestigious shows such as the Arts for the Parks, Oil Painters of America, American Impressionist Society, and Portrait Society of America, receiving awards in all.

He is a member of Grand Valley Artists in Grand Rapids, Michigan, master signature member of Oil Painters of America, and a signature member of the American Impressionist Society.  Ken also served on the board of  Oil Painters of America and was president from 2014-2016 volunteering his time to help other artists attain their dreams. An adventurer at heart  Ken has traveled around the world often living in other countries for extended periods of time painting the people, places, and things that most interest him.

Ken’s paintings are a strong combination of color and design.  He has derived his style from the influence of painters whom he admires, masters he has worked with, and an unmistakable element that comes from deep within.  Ken strives to convey his vision to the viewer, inviting them to share the sheer wonder he experiences while painting.
