Ken Wright grew up in a fertile and creative environment where he was positively influenced by his grandfather who handcrafted furniture and an uncle who was a photographer and painter. His father customized and handmade women’s shoes. He highly regards tools and precision, yet creates graceful stained glass mosaics. Eschewing gentle pastels in favor of a bold and brilliant palate, Ken’s glass mosaics are urban, figurative, and narrative.

A native of Bedford Stuyvesant Brooklyn, Ken’s first art medium was photography. Ken’s exhibition credits include Savacou Gallery and the Office of the Manhattan Borough President in NYC and the Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation. Zakiya Art Gallery and SONYA in Brooklyn, NY. He created a stained glass mask for the Mocada Museum’s masquerade ball. He is an active member of the Fulton Arts Consortium and the National Conference of Artists. He is also a master framer and conservationist working with the most outstanding African-American Artists in New York City. He was invited to sit on the dais for the Dedicators 6th Celebration of Black Artists Scholarship Fund Luncheon.
