Ken Meyer

Raised in Chicago drawing in his sketchbooks, Ken moved to Tucson, AZ to pursue 350 days of sunshine per year and a BFA at the University of Arizona. In 1998 he moved to Vancouver to experience six months of rain a year and study character animation at the Vancouver Film School. He then started his career in visual effects, founded Jackrabbit Pictures, and put down permanent roots in BC.

Ken set out on his sculpture practice creating clay character maquettes in the development process of his animated short films. From here he developed mold making, casting, and metal fabrication skills which opened the door to a myriad of sculptural media. Ken’s current works are in bronze, concrete, stoneware, steel, and wood.

Ken currently lives in Maple Bay on Vancouver Island splitting his time between working as an animator for the feature film industry, producing fine artwork, and exploring the Canadian wilderness.

Ken is also a proud member of Artists For Conservation, meaning 10% of proceeds from his art is donated to a charity pertaining to the character of each piece. Read more here:
