Ken McCalla

Welcome to a small selection of my artworks. From the 1980s til now.
Drawing on my rich cultural heritage,
my art work explores personal growth & celebrates harmony

Inspired by travel to Ghana 89 - 90, I turned my hands to carving, exploring through carvings and sculptures, ideas based on energies uniting. Hopefully people can relate to the ideas and sentiments in the art and incorporate them into their living spaces and daily lives.
