Invited Artists
KEN DEWAARD
Hope, ME After receiving his Bachelor of Arts with honors, Ken began working in a commercial art studio in Chicago. He continued his studies at the American Academy of Art, where he studied with nationally rec- ognized watercolorist, Irving Shapiro. Upon Irving’s recommendation Ken joined the acclaimed Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Art in Chicago, where he soon began studying with Scott Burdick as well as Dan Gerhartz. It is here that Ken adapted his direct and pure approach as well as his bravura brush style, which he achieves by painting directly from life.The feelings Ken evokes in his paintings are due in part to the ex- citement and passion he feels while capturing the eet- ing effects of light, or the wonderful color nuances and harmonies presented by nature and all of her beauty.
