Description

Minimalist abstract in a new series of works celebrating the beauty and power of ink to parchment. "She Waits" is also the 2nd in a series of stories, poems, and musings of this life we find ourselves in.

- "Through parted gales she waits
Steady on to her I come

Memories of her my treasure
She waits to be found

Dark skies to prevail she waits
Steady on to her I come

Death cannot keep her from me
She waits to be found" -Ken Walker


"This painting was perhaps the most personal and intimate of all the work I've ever done up until this moment. This is a portrait of my late wife at our wedding. It's those moments during the wedding ceremony that I remember her there, standing as a beautiful statue of white looking at me, waiting for my words of love, of acceptance, of affirmation of a life we would live together, though tragically short: Just 2 words, "I DO!" Now, it is the memory of her that I hold onto and cherish as the greatest treasure. As memory stir, I go to her there, where time is resurrected, and I know each time I will be with her again as "She Waits" for me.
