Ken started "The Gray Goose Press" to
create limited edition linoleum block prints. The name came about
because one of the antique presses he owned was gun-metal grey and had a
goose-neck handle.

| Ken has an amazing collection of native
American art. Some he has acquired from other artisans and some he
has created himself. Ken has tried his hand at porcupine quillwork and
made a scrimshaw powder horn. He has also come up with a technique
of painting turkey feathers to simulate golden eagle feathers. He
then gives them an extra touch of quillwork down the center. Ken has used his pieces to illustrate lectures he has given on native American art; "Art from a
Different Point of View."
