The Artist
Ken is a passionate artist with over 40 years of experience with multiple mediums including acrylic painting, charcoal drawing, computer graphics and design, woodworking and woodcarving, and leatherworking. Ken picked up his first piece of leather in 2015 and started working on a Kozak riding belt inspired by a close friend who created a belt for Ken. The friend had passed away a year earlier. Ken now creates his works in honor of this friend.
Ken’s designs are inspired by Ukrainian and Renaissance era cultures.
