Beckles Ken

 I am an abstract painter and an accomplished photographer. My paintings are personal and very different from other artists work due to the way that I approach the work. I mix most of the colors that I use and I also design the unusual shapes that I use for the paintings. I try to use as many variations as I can to separate my work from the rest of the art world. Using this discipline creates my own dynamic style of painting. My influences come from outside the art world and they are varied as life itself. My photography is also personal in nature and with color being an important issue for both.
