Hi, my name is Ken and I am a self taught artist. I have been painting for about 15years for my own enjoyment but have now decided to branch out to a wider audience. I paint mainly in acrylics and as well as portraiture I am adept at landscape and abstract. I intend to update my site on a regular basis so that I can show all areas of my work. Please enjoy. Ken
