Ken is honored to be a member of the WAA (Western Artists of America), and SAA (Society of Animal Artists). Highly recognized for its outstanding artists, the WAA is an association of western painters and sculptors. The organization was formed for the purpose of promoting the talents of professional fine artists specializing in the genre of cowboy, Indian, Pioneer, cattle and horse subjects.

The SAA, founded in 1960, is a worldwide association of animal and wildlife painters and sculptors "devoted to promoting excellence in the portrayal of the creatures sharing our planet, and to the education of the public through its informative art seminars, lectures and teaching demonstrations". Some of the finest animal artists from the United States, Canada, Europe, Africa, Japan, and Australia are represented in the SAA membership.

"According to Western Artists of America founder Ed Holmes, I was the first wildlife artist to be unanimously inducted into the WAA show!

"This has been a life long dream for me. To be juried into nationally acclaimed shows and share the experience with my peers is truly an honor. My heartfelt thanks goes to each of you for your continued support of my work throughout the years. I am very grateful."
