Ken is a watercolor documentarian based in Maplewood, NJ.
Dating back to December 2022, I have doodled detailed diaries of diners, dives, shops, cafes, and other places. Swollen sketchbooks swiftly spilled off shelves, displacing space and ballooning backpacks. A sketchbook goes everywhere I go.
After leaving a 20 year career in graphic design in 2023, I became a full time artist. Watercolor became my medium after finding that a light touch translates terrifically in capturing portraits of people, pets, homes, animals, and small businesses.
If I’m not painting, I’m organizing something. I am co-chair of the Studio Tour SOMA, am one of the coordinators of SOMA Figure drawing and The Affordable Arts Market, and lead the Bike Bus for my daughter’s elementary school
