The Pastel Journal
May-June 2002
"Giclee print becomes part of the
painting process"
New York Times On the Web Wine
Today, December 26, 2000 by Kathleen Buckley
excerpt: "What to do with the foil, cork and
wire cap .. There is always the tendency to want to save these as
a memory of the event. While it is sweet, it does not enhance the
home décor any more than colored water does in clear Appalachian
glass bottles. There are a few exceptions....
American artist Ken Elliott makes striking
abstract collages using pastels, oils and the foil from the
Champagne bottle."
Artweek
Magazine, September 1991, "Lovers of the Land, the
Landscape in Pastel at Gallery 30"

Magazine, October 1990, "Six California Landscape
Painters" |
