Artist Statement:
Ken grew up in
the rural south and came to Poulsbo via California twenty years ago.
While building their own log home in the desert, the Blair's wanted
a stained glass window on that structure. From that point, Ken
started taking classes but didn’t get a window in their Poulsbo home
until a few years ago. A career working for the government as a dry
dock supervisor and volunteer firefighter in the community put glass
on hold until recent years.
Ken has kept current on glass practices and
technologies by attending classes and trade shows. Whether it is a
glass slumping, fusing, or sandblast etching, he often incorporates
these different processes into the pieces of work. Inspired by the
Pacific Northwest and influenced by country life as a boy, Ken’s
work speaks of those images.
This artisan has been with the Verksted Gallery for
over seventeen years and his work can be seen in many local
businesses, schools, and churches. He also has completed pieces that
are in Japan, England, Guam, Hawaii, and Scotland. Whether you want
to disguise a bad view, enhance the light, or create privacy, Ken
truly enjoys working on commission pieces with customer input.
