My passions have led me in fulfilling directions. Years serving the advertising community in NYC shifted dramatically after 9/11. Abandoning that world, becoming revitalized by personal work and a newfound dedication to home and land, I recognize it’s the most important work I’ve ever done. I re-made our home from a rather simple place into a very special one.
I continue to engender ideas, see them take shape, and always, a final print makes all the difference. Mostly, my images are straightforward, but typically, interpretations will vary.
Ken and his wife Anne live in Catskill NY.
