years. As an artist for 25 of those years,
he can speak to the business and creative
aspects of being a professional artist.
Ken studied with Wolf Kahn for a month at the
Santa Fe Art Institute Master Class program.
He came away with enough information for a
lifetime. For decades he has been
associated with a number of
wonderful and successful artists. As a
former gallery dealer, he has a great deal of
experience and knowledge about past and present
artists and their reasons for success.
Having grown up in the arts with framing,
gallery management and as an artist, he has much
to offer to the hobbyist and professional

In his workshop:
This workshop is open to artists are all
skill levels.
Ken will discuss strategies for creating
better artworks with a variety of common and
creative tools. The workshop will focus the
strategies for making better paintings,
going to new places in your work and how to
make fine art. Much
attention will be given to improving your
own artworks and career.
Ken will demonstrate
painting using oil and pastel. He will
discuss the idea of making strong starts and
keeping the way open for more interesting
and dramatic finishes. Ken is a very
hands-on teacher, so there will be some
collaboration if you are open to it.
In addition to making art
works, Ken will talk about business and
promotion, which are necessary to be a
successful artist in the marketplace.
There will be serious discussions, laughs,
and your questions. We will
all come away with new tools to take your
art to the next level.
Attendees are invited to bring whatever
they wish to paint with and work on.
Bring works to start, works in progress, and
finished works to evaluate. There will be a
lot of conversation about the mental aspects
of making good art by design and experiment.
The mental aspect is the quickest way to
get the breakthroughs to the next big
success in your art. Ken will bring some
finished works to share with the group.
Ken is blogging about making
fine art.
