About the artist

  Since his return from active service in WWll and his schooling at the Art 
Center School  [now the Art Center College of Design], Ken Duffin has been a 
professional artist. For many years he was a freelance artist with his studio in 
San Francisco working  on advertising accounts such as Bank of America, 
Standard Oil, Kaiser Aluminum, Safeway, Hewlett-Packard, PG&E and others. 
Later he moved to Seattle to become a Boeing artist. Here he painted 
airplanes in flight as well promotional illustrations.  After leaving Boeing, he 
again became a freelance artist , this time in Seattle and  specializing in 
architectural illustration. These many years of fast-pace production, meeting 
deadlines and other demands developed skill and discipline which he now 
finds useful in his most recent direction.
In his remaining years he now paints, released from the demands of 
commercial art. He loves the outdoors with sunlight and shadows, fog, rain 
and all the elements, trees and fields and mountains and lakes and rivers, 
almost anything from nature. His home now is the Northwest where he has 
lived for nearly 40 years and where nature abounds. Trips to the mountains 
and beaches provide him with an abundant supply of material for his 
paintings. He occasionally travels to other parts of the country, and abroad to 
gather material to paint.
Ken is a life member and past president of the Puget Sound Group of 
Northwest Painters, a 75 year old organization that has had many of 
Northwest's finest painters as members. He has donated at least one painting 
a year, as all members do, for 40 years to their annual auction, which raises 
funds, not only for the club's expenses, but for scholarship grants to 
deserving young artists and award money to selected art shows. He was a 
founding member and past president of the San "Francisco Society of 
Illustrators" and a contributing member of the US Air Force Documentary 
Art Program, where again paintings are donated documenting experiences 
had while visiting Air Force Bases around the world. He is also a member of 
"Oil Painters of America" and a signature member of the "Northwest 
Watercolor Society".

His paintings have been accepted in many juried shows, including the national 
Arts for the Parks annual  top 100 in 1999 and 2001 and several times in

Washington cities of Redmond,  Edmonds [twice], Chelan and also for the 
75th anniversary Ellensburg Rodeo
     In East Side Fine Arts Association shows of Bellevue,Wa. he won 
first prize in 1997 and third prize in each of two shows in 2001. He has been 
accepted and won awards in the annual Puget Sound Country Show, as 
well as shows in  
Ocean Shores, Anacortes, Edmonds,  La Conner, Chelan. and others
