He worked as a freelance artist nationally for many years. Ken spent 1993 and 1994 studying and painting in Paris, France. He is now living in Northbrook Illinois with his wife and two children. After beginning his career as a studio artist, he soon branched out on his own, beginning a very successful freelance career, which to date has led to the creation of over 500 illustrations for books, magazines, art publishers, advertising agencies and corporations. Ken, in the last few years, has made the transition to fine art and portraiture. Many of his originals are hanging in galleries and homes across the country.

Artist Statement
Starting in art school and all through my early years as an illustrator I was encouraged to paint in many different mediums and styles. I tried them all but, in the end, I settled on watercolor. The spontaneity and flow just fit my personality and style. What I look for and strive to achieve can only be expressed in this wonderful medium. One of the things asked of the artists is to define what inspires them to do what they do. After giving it some thought, the one thing that comes to mind before anything else is play of sunlight, indoors or out, which creates a mood.
Future workshop with Richie Vios September 29, 30, and October 1, 2026.
