Portraits, classes, and events
A watercolor studio for heartfelt portraits and artistic growth
EVENTS
You may think an artist works out of their studio all the time and only makes appearances at gallery shows. Not true! We are out and about ALL the time. Some more than others. Most of these events are my own, but some of them are group shows or markets. Running events is something I love to do. So there are a lot of them.

Hi. It’s me Ken
Your friendly neighborhood watercolor documentarian
I paint portraits. I paint murals. I paint things that take 10 minutes. I paint things that take (at least) 10 days.
You may catch me making sketchbook paintings of cafés, coffeeshops, restaurants, flower shops, and so on and so forth. If you’re from Maplewood, NJ like me your favorite place may be in my book of illustrations. If it isn’t, let me know where to go and I’ll meet you there for coffee or whatever they serve there.
I’ve been a full-time artist since 2022, after two decades as a graphic designer. It’s been an amazing journey so far and I’m just getting started. More about me (including a podcast episode) on my about page.
