Instructor: Ken Daley is an artist/illustrator from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. His distinctive style expressed the vibrant spirit and culture of the Caribbean and the African diaspora. Ken’s passion lies with stories that reflect his heritage as the child of immigrants, his connection to the Caribbean, and the richness and expanse of the African Diaspora. He believes that diverse stories are essential to creating a more just, and equitable world, and this is something he is deeply committed to manifesting through his art. As an award-winning illustrator, he is known for his use of bold colours, and authentic details to depict Black Life, in all its iterations.
Ken has exhibited his artwork within Canada, the United States and the Caribbean, and can be found in numerous private collections. He has illustrated five published children’s books - Joseph’s Big Ride, Auntie Luce’s Talking Paintings (nominated as one of the best picture books in 2018 by Kirkus Review), A Feast for Joseph, In the Spirit of a Dream, and Jayden’s Impossible Garden.
