Ken was born, raised, and educated (high school, BS, MA in Printmaking) in Indiana, Pennsylvania, where he still resides. He has been an art teacher (retired), a contractor (retired), an accountant (big mistake), racquetball pro (not-so-good), an author (three books), an illustrator (13 books), a national speaker on creativity and the gifted (15 years), an antique dealer (30 years), and now, as always, a full time artist! A studio in the third floor of the family home is where watercolors and drawings evolve. Work time is mostly at night. (All night sometimes if the passion blocks reality and time!) "I create because the stories in my head won't allow for anything else."
Ken's work is very vibrant. He is very versatile and works in different mediums. Many of his pieces have a flow to them that allows the viewer to follow his line work or brush strokes. Ken's work is quite spectacular to me. I find that his history in the art world has really pushed his work to another level of fascination. I do not believe Ken Vinton has reached the apex of his work nor talent. As time moves forward and progresses so does his his work as it is assimilated into modern day culture.
