Ken
was born in Matlock Derbyshire, but spent the early part of his life in
London.
After
a short
period of working as a Commercial Artist in Fleet Street London, Ken
entered
the business world of Commerce, although he continued to maintain his
interest
and links in Art by painting and Exhibiting throughout the South of
England.
Having
moved
to North East Essex, Ken now works as a full time Artist with the
majority
of his work coming from commissions, gallery and corporate clients.
Ken's
style,
technique and pallet have evolved over many years with his inspiration
and influences coming from his love of big dramatic East Anglian skies
and the rugged barren beauty and atmosphere of mountains, moor and
wetlands.
In fact some of his work has been described as "Landscapes with
Attitude"
Ken's
work reflects
his love of clean stylish lines and a limited pallet, his colour
combinations,
use of texture and relief effects illustrate and typify his minimalist
"Less is More" approach. Ken's work is much sought after and can be
found
in private collections in the UK, Holland, Israel and the U.S.A
