Janus Galleries
Award-winning artist, Ken DeWaard’s work will be on exhibit now through the end of October. Make sure to stop in to see some wonderful pieces which feature favorite Madison neighborhoods and surrounding areas.
Ken has been painting for more than 20 years. Strongly influenced by masters John Singer Sargent, Nicolai Fechin, Joaquin Sorolla and the Russian Impressionists, after earning his BA with honors, he continued his studies at the American Academy of Art, and joined the acclaimed Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Art in Chicago, studying with masters Scott Burdick and Dan Gerhartz. DeWaard prefers painting “en plein air,” outdoors in the elements, where he strives to capture the light before it changes. His sense of color and brushwork are finely honed after years of study and experience, and his works are widely collected. He has received many awards, including best-of-show, and most recently, the 2013 Artist Choice Award at the Easton Plein Air competition. He currently resides in the southwestern Driftless Area with his wife and four children. Ken recently won the coveted 2013 Artist’s Choice Award at the Plein Air Festival on the East Coast!
