Three bodies of work
One of a Kind Art, Critically Acclaimed
Ken's art is not just about aesthetics, it's a gateway to expanding our consciousness. 3 Bodies of Art that will hold your attention:
Folds in Black and Blue
01
Abstract Originals
Folds in Black and Blue
$5,500 · 34x17" acrylic, epoxy resin on board
The idea of black, white and color weaves throughout my piece with organic shapes and intricate flowing black lines. The colors chosen add to the layered textures by enhancing the motif, creating an effect of allure within the style of this abstract impression.
02
Non-Representational
The Circle & Square
$4500 · 28x22"
The artwork is unequivocally abstract, inviting viewers to engage with it on a purely visual and emotional level rather than searching for literal meaning. It speaks to the raw power of color and shape.
03
Geometric Abstraction
Chromatic Colors
$3800 · 35x30"
This piece offers a strong example of saturated color and robust form. Its inclusion in a Primary Color Exhibit gives it a curated context.
About the artist
Painting as a first language
It just took a pencil and some encouraging words, and the lines of expression started me off. A new beginning emerged. My voice could now be told in pictures. A few opening images began my journey.

Typical ship time
In their words
The canvas changed the whole room. People walk in and stop talking for a second, which is exactly what I wanted.
Ken took a rough idea about colour and turned it into a piece that feels like it was always meant for that wall.
Packed beautifully, arrived early, and the print is somehow richer in person than on screen.
How buying works
Simple, and handled by the people who made it
One-of-one originals
Each original is painted once and sold once. Click a piece, see the size, price and collection, then buy it with a single button.
Shipped from Hawaii
Smaller works ship at a predictable flat rate. Larger canvases need crating, so the studio confirms the exact cost with you before charging.
Direct from the studio
Ken and Donna pack and post every original themselves, and answer every email personally.
