 In 1978 Ken moved to New York beginning as a freelance illustrator.
He worked with a long list of publishers being accepted numerous times
in the Society of Illustrators National Exhibition. Taking advantage of New York's
talent pool he continued his studies at The Student Art League, The School of
Visual Arts and privately with Daniel Schwartz and in the last ten years has
followed his primary passion for fine art painting. Currently residing in West Orange,
New Jersey, Mr. Hamilton is an active member of the Art Centre of New Jersey and
President of the New Jersey Watercolor Society . His work has appeared widely
in juried gallery and museum exhibitions winning numerous awards and honors.
Many private as well as corporate collections across the country have acquired
his fine paintings.

 Regardless of the subject, Ken finds it is how he reacts to its' mood and figure
 that defines his approach to a painting. Although his compositions are carefully
 planned, he is willing to change course and "let things happen", allowing intuition
 guide the work. Some of his most satisfying works develop from "happy accidents".
