"In the visual sense, when one views my art, he or she should be able to feel the rugged beauty of the southwest and the vitality and diversity of its people."

At the age of 26, Ken opened his own wildlife art studio where, as a taxidermist, he sculpted life-sized models. During that time, Ken has submerged himself in a business that demanded an intense study of anatomy, composition and wildlife physiology. Ken believes that this in-depth knowledge is an extremely important quality of a wildlife artist.

Ken is a member of the WAA (Western Artists of America), and SAA (Society of Animal Artists). Highly recognized for its outstanding artists, the WAA is an association of western painters and sculptors. The SAA was founded in 1960 and is "devoted to promoting excellance in the portrayal of the creatures sharing our planet..." It is a worldwide orgainzation, whose members span the globe from the United States to Canada, Europe, Japan and Australia.

For the past eighteen years Ken has expanded his talents into the creation of bronze sculpture. These bronzes depict Ken's love and appreciation for wildlife along with the legendary cowboys, bucking broncos and historic Native Americans of the southwest.
