BIO
Ken Wilson rediscovered his passion for painting after spending two decades on a separate path in real estate development. Wilson’s pull to the arts through color and composition came about while renovating old apartment buildings. He explains his artistic awakening to be both “challenging and rewarding to see what I could create.”
In his current work, Wilson looks to his life experiences as well as his everyday enjoyment of art, sports, music, and reading. Wilson lives with his wife Sara in Kansas City, where he paints in his studio as well as venturing outside to work en plein air.
His favorite composition to create is a cityscape particularly during weather activity such as rain or snow, which allows for more dramatic imagery through reflections and light. He also enjoys working in figurative painting, particularly using subjects from the sports and music worlds. Wilson describes his rediscovery to be his foundation on how to create. “My journey has taught me an important lesson. Follow your heart. Follow your passion. Do the things that are meaningful to you; not to anyone else. This is how I approach my art.”
