About THE ARTIST

Embellishing light, shadow, color, and contrast while making sure composition is heavily considered, my hope is to show my subject matter with intensity. My name is Ken Williams and I first started my art career as a young student in the Southwestern part of Colorado until 1988 when I became a full-time student at the Art Institute of Colorado in Denver. I would earn my degree in Visual Communications there and then would apply my artistic skills as owner of 4U2C, a successful print and design company I operated from 1993 until I sold it to a national chain in 2009. Since then, I have been able to dedicate more time with my artwork.

My first big exposure was an exclusive showing of my art at the Hard Rock Café, where I was able to show my collection of musicians that were all exclusively done in pastel. The show was a great success which prompted me to start showing work in galleries.  I was incredibly pleased to add Rox Arts Gallery to the list where I now show my work as it is loaded with talented artists and is just such a pleasant place to visit.   

In addition to my pastels (which are always framed professionally with acid-free matting and UV coated museum glass), I have been painting in oils on canvas.  My focus is to have my oils and pastels recognizable by having a similar style, although the techniques to create them are much different.

A big thank you to all my supporters, both past and present. I will continue to improve as it is my hope to bring as much value to my art that you so graciously invest in.
