Autorenporträt
Ken earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from Portland State University and raised his three children in Portland, Oregon. As a professional engineer, he designed sawmill equipment for Crow Engineering and later Weyerhaeuser. He achieved his long-term goal to retire at age 55 and directed his artistic and mechanical talents to creating kinetic metal sculpture. Within a few years his work was recognized and exhibited locally and internationally. His Mesmerometer is on display at Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in Portland and his triple pendulum sculpture Tourbillon is installed at Boonshoft Museum of Science and Discovery in Dayton, Ohio. He loved planning ambitious adventures including hiking and cycling the length of the Oregon coast, cycling across Oregon, and kayaking from Portland to Astoria. Ken planned to create art, hike, kayak, and ride his bike forever.kenkinetic.comYouTube channel - kenkineticart
