Ken Hull is a self-taught artist residing in Boalsburg, PA. He began by capturing in pen & ink the landscapes and wildlife of his home area in Centre County. He expanded his horizons and mediums when he took his first trip abroad to paint a collection of works inspired by the beauty and spirit of Ireland in watercolors. This marked the beginning of what is now the artist's trademark: traveling across America and to distant lands only to return and create a body of work that draws his audience into moments of time and place. These collections have included scenes from Italy, France, the American Southwest and the island of Corsica.
Over the years, Ken has participated in numerous juried art shows every season. In many of these shows he has received special recognition, including: "Best New Artist," Lakewood, OH; "First Place in Watercolors," A Fair in the Park, Pittsburgh, PA; and twice an invited artist at the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts in State College, PA. He also received notoriety when American Artist Magazine published a featured article that detailed his trip to Ireland.
Now Ken spends his time riding the byways and back roads of central Pennsylvania scouting out cool places to eat and drink. This all began years ago while traveling the country and abroad for his artwork. Rather than eat at a cookie-cutter chain place, he snooped around and asked locals where they eat. In Europe chains are super rare so eating at a indie owned cafe, bistro, trattoria or restaurant is the way of la vie. This idea of fresh, creative and passionate food and drink settled deep in his spirit.
Today, after thirteen trips abroad and crisscrossing the USA and eating well and eating local, it's a rare occasion (if ever) you will see Ken in a chain gang restaurant, unless his dear sister or mom and dad invite him to one (he's working on them). You will see him at local eats, pubs and cafes and most likely with The Mighty Steed. This is his 1994 Harley Davidson Sportster and his favorite mode of transportation. The two are inseparable and have been known to "bend" the "rules" of the road on just about every adventure; it’s just more fun.
All in all; artist, traveler, adventurer and now writer, Ken is living la vie and God has blessed every day, every mile and every meal.
