Biography of Ken Power


Ken was born in Toronto, Ontario on June 6, 1972, to parents Ted Power of North River, NF and Verna Mouland of Musgrave Harbour, NF. Settling back home in Newfoundland at age two, Ken was raised in Upper Gullies, Conception Bay South, the eldest of three children. As a child, he always had an interest in drawing and demonstrated artistic talent at a young age. Inspired by his father who also enjoys painting, Ken began painting acrylics as a hobby at age 23. After pursuing interests in various other fields, Ken began painting professionally in January of 1997, with his medium of choice being watercolor.

As a self taught artist, Ken has an original style that captures the beauty of Newfoundland scenery with extraordinary realism. Residing in Kelligrews, NF with his wife, Lisa (Phillips, R.N.) and their children Andrew and Emma, Ken; a full time father, works everyday from a home studio. He also teaches a beginners course in watercolor at College of the North Atlantic in Seal Cove.

Ken's collection of prints can be viewed in various galleries throughout Newfoundland as well as many other parts of Canada. His original works consist mainly of portraits, corporate and private commissions.
