This Month at Cascadia Art Museum:

Ken Ketchum

February 20th, 2025

Ken grew up in a small town east of Los Angeles at a time when there were no freeways, there were orange groves, grape vines and farmland along Route 66. In 1970, Ken followed Route 66 to the San Fernando Valley where he got his BFA at California State University at Northridge in 1974. Ken moved to Edmonds, Washington in 1989 where he continued drawing and painting, as well as working as a carpenter. In search of a rural lifestyle, he moved with his wife to the artist community of Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada where he developed his unique drawing and painting style. Ken moved back to Edmonds in 2016 and is involved in the local art community and is a member of the Graphite Arts Collective.
 
“I will have an image in my mind that I will then translate into form through the medium, using practiced skills, poetry, and humor with an intention to bring pleasure to the viewer.” – Ken Ketchum
