Ken Snouffer – Oils on Canvas
“As long as I can remember, I have always enjoyed a keen interest in art. I am amazed at the beauty our world, which is a testimony to our Creator. It is a gift to capture even a small reflection of it.  Passion and drive has consumed my time and energy in developing my own style. This experience has brought me joy and satisfaction. Being a self-taught artist the continual steps in the process of reaching my goal of perfection is a never ending quest and the joy is in the journey.”   Ken has a studio in the Pendleton Art Center in Cincinnati.  Please visit  his website for studio information.
