We help leaders amplify their lives and work through creativity.

Ken Hubbell began his art career in New York City in the 1970s and spent forty years as a strategic consultant who sees the world visually. He has returned to oil painting as a practice of radical presence.
His work is not decoration; it is an argument about how to live. We call this being an Artist of Life -- a practice that lifts up creativity, imagination, spirit, and impact. Welcome to the studio.

Being an Artist of Life

We practice creating the amazing. In our transformative AI era, it is clear that “energy” is a valuable currency. We practice the path of uncovering and unleashing energy in many forms: as original oil paintings or as convening leaders around transformative new models.

Ken earned a B.F.A in painting and sculpture from Syracuse University and worked in New York City for five years as a practicing artist before establishing his home in Little Rock in 1977. In the 1970s, he had one-man and group shows at Artists Space and Hansen galleries in NYC. His sculpture installations were included in “New York Artists 1976” at the University of Wisconsin Art Center, and his graphic work won the Forbes Magazine purchase prize at the National Arts Club in New York City. Starting in late 2016, Ken had shows of new work at the Arkansas Repertory Theater's gallery in Little Rock and in Fayetteville at Community Creative Center. In 2017, Crystal Bridges Museum assistant curator Dylan Turk selected two of Ken's paintings for South Arkansas Art Center's annual juried exhibition.

In 2024, Ken's paintings were selected for national juried shows: Brand52 Annual Works on Paper (Glendale, CA) and The Elements at Sedona Arts Center (Sedona, AZ). He hosts selective studio visits, direct and gallery sales and commissions.

As a visual strategist, Ken and partners have collaborated with more than 90 clients across the world to produce successful, resilient and meaningful programs and initiatives that accelerated positive social change. He has Google and Nvidia AI fluency certificates which support his applied fusion of creative and impactful business development in the digital era.
