Ken has been working as an illustrator for over 20 years. Inspired by the natural artistic talent of his late grandfather, Ken decided to pursue a career as an artist.

 

Upon graduating from the Spectrum Institute for the Advertising Arts in Hillsborough, NJ, where he majored in illustration, Ken spent his first few professional years working for companies with in-house art departments.

 

Since striking out on his own in 1985, Ken has created drawings and paintings for a wide range of magazine and book publishers. His work is seen in trade magazines, school books, paperback books, children's magazines and children's books.

 

Living at the heart of the New Jersey Shore with his wife Diane and their two children, Ken has been involved with local Little League and AAU youth baseball. Currently, he spends a lot of his free time coaching kids in local junior tennis programs and is a member of the USTA.

 

Although well versed in a variety of subject matter, Ken's love of the ocean and outdoor sports show up quite often in his work.
