KEN ELLIOTT

Ken Elliott is an artist shaped by a lifetime in the art business. Beginning over 40 years ago, Ken started as a picture framer in Houston, then an art dealer and began painting about three decades ago. His friendships with Forrest Moses and Wolf Kahn as wall as an intensive month of Wolf’s master classes have been invaluable.

His oils and pastels aren't just about places; they're an investigation of color and composition  in wild and believable ways. Ken's goal? To craft something that's not your everyday scene but an expressive work of art infused with life and joy.

Ken's artistic process isn't a straight line; it's more like a dance. Nature for Ken is a bottomless well of inspiration. When ideas run dry, he heads back to nature, where the colors and  inspirations for a lifetime are always ready and waiting. His art is an ongoing story of bold beginnings, happy accidents, and the joy of creating something extraordinary. A true color enthusiast, Ken finds his muse in landscapes.

Forget about copying nature; he's more interested in freeing himself to create something impactful without yelling. No more feeling trapped by representing a specific place; he's all about the freedom to use all of his available tools to create fine art.

“Vibrant colors that somehow radiate calmness.”
