The Artwork of Ken Gilliland



Four Visions, One Artist: 

Art for me is multi-faceted… when I sit in front of a canvas, I’m a realist who paints social commentary, the American middle class in middle class situations. When I draw, I draw nature in a loose and stylized way, emulating it’s rhythms.  When I photograph, I photograph birds and California native plants in a close up and personal way, allowing them to show their personalities. And finally when I sit in front of a computer, I create stories and environmental commentary using 2D and 3D technologies.
