Ken Smith – Newport, Washington Pen & Ink Artist
About The Artist
Ken Smith
I am a Pen and Ink Artist living in the Newport, Washington area. My original style is somewhat a combination of an unintentional Elemental Art blended with a Zen Tangle flavor. While most of my art pieces use an unusual black and white motif, my colorwork also leans to the unexpected.
I do not start with an idea of what the finished piece will be but let the piece reveal itself as it develops a story of its’ own on the page.
I prefer not to title my work, giving the viewer the opportunity to enjoy the work for what it is and not be constrained by what I see in the piece. This encourages an experience called Pareidolia and allows the viewers full participation in experiencing the art.
