July News:
It was a delight to travel to Houston and attend my group show last week at the Arden's Gallery - a big thank you to all that came by. Did I mention that Houston has the best Mexican food? I indulged.
Today a large canvas is being crated for shipping to a private client in Illinois and happily, more commissions are in the works.
Coming up, I am honored to be the juror for the Pikes Peak Pastel Society exhibition in September as well as putting on a workshop sponsored by the group. Also in August through October of this year, I will be offering more Making it Fine Art Workshops in Colorado and Massachusetts. workshop info
Let's make the most of this remarkable summer!

Ken's work the Denver International Airport
Should you find yourself at the Denver Airport, take the time to view my work and those of my gifted Expand artists / colleagues reproduced in the Main Terminal. You will see the images between the baggage claim areas and behind the car rental counters. This “Here to There” themed display was curated by the DIA Art and Culture Program. The airport desired more color in the main terminal spaces and happily, we were allowed to use it as our playground. Many thanks to my fellow artists and everyone that made this possible!
