Ken Brown

     Born into a family of Pioneer muleskinners and grain harvesters I grew up in the richness of a very busy family.  After serving in the U.S. Army I got blinded in one eye but never let that detract me from working in carpentry, the oilfield and utility work to name just a few jobs. 

 Half blind, my appreciation of beauty became pronounced as I learned to see and navigate again.  With a unique vision and Artist's License, hand and eye coordination helps interpret what I see. Sometimes using color, I love how black and white art catches my attention and draws me into the picture.  I draw, paint and teach because I love art and have a desire to share with others. I hope you enjoy my artwork

 I've found that Pen and ink works well within the building blocks of painting for me, and although it can be fearful at first, Pen & ink has become one of my favorite mediums.  

 Knowing first-hand how drawing can heal I've shared my skills with  veterans at the Coffee Bunker, and in other places including Hobby Lobby, Philbrook Museum and TTC.  Some of my art has won top honors and my favorite studio is outdoors where I get a lot of inspiration to create art. Thank you.
