10. Ken Balmer
Ken’s work is inspired by his search for and appreciation of spirituality in all its forms. A book of his wildlife art
bears the title Orenda - an Iroquois name for a supernatural force believed to be present in varying degrees, in
all persons, creatures and objects – the spiritual driver for human accomplishment. Favourite subjects include
hawks (his power animal), the essential spirit of animals, spiritual leaders/ elders, and prayer in its many forms
(southwest Native American Dancers, drummers, West Coast totems) – wherever he senses the power of
orenda.
Ken lives on the edge of Algonquin Park in Canada, with a winter home just north of the Mexican border in
Arizona and a wanderlust that takes him into nature and the wilderness by motorcycle, boat or RV for several
months every year.
He has been painting for over 45 years, is self-taught, guided by a few mentors and many
professionals who have willingly shared their talent and time. Ken has a Ph.D. in
geography/planning and has enjoyed an eclectic career as academic, manager, futurist
and consultant.
