Ken Burton Art

English, b. 1946

Born in Peterborough in 1946, Ken Burton's interest in art began at school and led him to an initial choice of career in design and engraving, in which he trained with Joseph Hules, in London. Burton left in 1970 to enter public service (The British Police Force) but later retired in 1986 to settle down and return to his real vocation, capturing the beauty of the English countryside in watercolor. Burton says he has "never worked so hard in his life." Increasingly sought after, Burton's works may be found in many leading art galleries throughout the United Kingdom, and are represented in numerous private collections both at home and abroad, particularly in the United States and Japan.
