Ken Muramotoʼs art blends his fascination for trains with his love of art. Born in 1993 and diagnosed with autism at age 3, Ken had an early gift for drawing that was nurtured by his parents.
Enrolled in art classes with Susana Terrell since kindergarten, Ken garnered respect and admiration for his detailed artistry and versatile imagination present in his art.
Ken has benefitted from his attendance in Santa Cruz and Pajaro Valley schools, Cabrillo College, and Aptos Post Secondary Special Services. He has been the recipient of numerous awards in community shows and two Santa Cruz County Fair poster contests.
Ken was the featured artist for the 2015 and 2016 Orchard Supply Hardware® Train Calendars, the youngest in its 41-year history. He is a member of the American Society of Railway Artists. Currently Ken participates in the Claraty Arts Project in Santa Cruz, CA.
Prints and art cards of his artworks in this exhibit are available at his website at www.kensonetrackmind.com or www.claratyarts.com (See the website on the label of each artwork).
