Ken Farris’s love of art dates back to pre-school days when he and his sister painted using their dime store watercolors. Nature and the world in general fascinated Ken and he planned to be an artist and paint what he loved. But, as is true for many, the pressures of making a living got in the way, and art was set aside during much of his adult life. His love of art and innate talents came to the fore while working as a Design Engineer winning the prestigious International Award Of Excellence from Ford Motor Co. for design work. In 2002, Ken decided to reclaim his dream and began to study painting, taking as many classes as he could while committing himself to daily studio time. He paints with acrylics, oils, watercolors, colored pencils and enjoys each medium equally. To satisfy his love of nature, he paints plein air when he can. This enterprising and devoted artist has even found a niche teaching art. He gains enormous pleasure and satisfaction seeing a student,who has never painted before, create his first ''masterpiece''. Ken's artwork is displayed in corporate and private collections throughout the country He uses his many travel photos as inspiration for his paintings. They allow him to relive enjoyable experiences yet provide something new and challenging to work from. Ken is a member of Oak Leaf Artist Guild, Northside Art Association, St. Louis Watercolor Society, Lake St. Louis Artist Association and the Saint Peters Community & Arts Center. In 2005, he exhibited his work at the Augusta Haus Art Gallery while serving on their board of managers. Ken also helped develop Art For Your Spaces, a business which provides original artwork for the residential and commercial markets. Ken Farris is an artist who has proven that it is never too late to live a dream.
