Metaphorically, my work is about the mechanics of this modern age and the behavior of the people within it. In many ways it is a visual equivalent to Shakespeare’s monologue “All the World’s a Stage” from As You Like It in that the men and women of any given time are merely players in the world in which they live.”

Ken Berman is a northern California, self-taught, outsider artist specializing in the presentation of the urban environment. Born in New Jersey, Ken’s journey as an artist began as an undergraduate studying architecture at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where he was inspired by the raw energy and visual power of the old Bethlehem Steel Mills. Over the years Ken has won many awards for his work, including First Place and Best of Show awards. He has also shown his work at the prestigious Sausalito Art Festival as well as ArtExpo New York and has had the honor of showing his work in several California museums, including the Crocker Museum and the Sonoma Valley Museum.
