Ken
is a fan of the great sculptors of the past, especially the Greek and Roman
masters. He strives for the same design qualities within his western themes.
The bronze sculpture of Ken Payne is shown and collected internationally, and is
prized by noted art connoisseurs as well as first-time collectors. His work is
followed by thousands more through the nationally televised program, "Sculpting
with Ken Payne".
Ken's home-based studio is located in Ruidoso, New Mexico. In addition to
working in Ruidoso, the public and clients are pleasantly surprised to find Ken
sculpting in his new gallery, "Old Santa Fe Trails" located at 102 E. Water
Street in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Ken enjoys meeting visitors and telling stories
of the Old West. He is dedicated to authentically and permanently recording for
us and generations to come, a dynamic era we can hold in our hands - and our
hearts.
Ken will usually begin sculpting with a story he wants to tell or a title that
captures his imagination. His stories have been included with each bronze and
help bring 'The Old West' to life.
