Inspired by the work of the French Impressionists and the Glasgow Boys
Ken Roberts spent his first seven years in the little Scottish town of Milngavie as an evacuee from the Clydebank Blitz. In Glasgow he was founder and CEO of a very successful Scottish graphic communications group. His experience includes illustration, graphic design, copywriting and litho printing. His love of art started in childhood with regular weekend visits to the wonderful Kelvingrove Art Gallery where the work of the French impressionists and the Glasgow Boys inspired him to go on to study commercial art and life drawing at Glasgow School of Art.
He also studied printing at Stow College Glasgow. He has painted all his life and in 1999 Ken decided to become a full time artist settling in the beautiful east coast university town of St Andrews. Ken’s paintings have exhibited in galleries in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stonehaven, St Andrews and Woodstock Oxfordshire. He has many collectors throughout the U.K. and USA. His work has twice been featured in the International Artist Magazine.
