Ken Hull is a self-taught artist residing in Boalsburg , PA. He began by capturing in pen & ink the landscapes and wildlife of his home area in Centre County . He expanded his horizons and mediums when he took his first trip abroad to paint a collection of works inspired by the beauty and spirit of Ireland in watercolors. This marked the beginning of what is now the artist's trademark: traveling across America and to distant lands only to return and create a body of work that draws his audience into moments of time and place. These collections have included scenes from Italy , France , the American Southwest and the island of Corsica.
