About me

Location	New York City, NY, United States
Introduction	“I try to capture in my paintings the feelings I get from places I’ve been and things I’ve seen.” Sailboats in serene harbors, pots of bright flowers in a greenhouse corner, sun-washed beaches – all characterize the work of Kenneth Kaye. Kaye was born in New York City in 1951 and grew up on Long Island, near the Great South Bay. He studied drawing and design at Arizona State University, and architecture at City College of New York's School of Environmental Design. The influence of his architectural training is evident in his paintings. Building forms are often used as frameworks for his compositions, in the shape of a window, doorway, porch or boat dock. His plein-air approach to a subject shows the influence of the Impressionists, capturing a fleeting moment of sunlight and color as it dances across the beach or bathes a vase of flowers in warmth. Kaye fuses several styles together to form his own unique canvases. He boldly uses his palette knife and brush to create fresh and exciting impasto paintings. His works have been exhibited in galleries across the United States and are in private collections throughout the world.
