I am inspired by everything surrounding me. At times it's overwhelming, but I express it before I go insane. What I capture is my interpretation of the world – a bittersweet sense of myself.
We have moved to Vashon Island.
A big change, after nearly twenty years in Seattle. We are renting an old, OLD farmhouse on 10 acres of beautiful meadow. We look out on this:
I have been painting houses, interior and exterior, for over 25 years. I'm great with color consultation if you desire, and also happy to paint whatever you have chosen yourself. I'm a craftsman as well an artist - fast and professional. Happy to paint a small inside room or discuss a larger project.

I'm also a garden designer with over 25 years of experience - extremely skilled in pruning, planting, design, and rockwork - all done by hand. I don't use any gas-powered machinery. No pollution (air or noise) gardening. Here is my personal favorite design I did, in the Leschi neighborhood of Seattle:

"Dear All, I recently hired someone to do a variety of painting and repair work around my home. Ken was responsible, competent, thorough, and with great attention to detail. He lives in Baja Talmadge, so is centrally located. He works quickly, intelligently and multi-tasks..... He has many handyman, painting, yardwork skills. He is from Seattle and listens to great "mood music" while working too. Please keep him in mind when you need work or know someone who does."
Michelle LaPrise, San Diego
“Ken really listens to your concerns and tries hard to solve whatever problem you have. He will make a dozen phone calls and consult half a dozen books or other professionals to find the best solution. His attention to detail, hard work, and flexibility made him very rewarding to work with. His creative use of materials, awesome aesthetic sense and personal charm made what could have been a nightmare into a hugely rewarding experience.”
