- **Event Name**: Meet the Artist: Ken McNeill at ARTworks Vass
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us on Saturday, Feb. 21st from 1l0:00 to 2:00 for a special “Meet the Artist” event featuring beloved North Carolina painter Ken McNeil!

Ken’s artwork beautifully reflects his life in North Carolina—from sun-washed coastal vacation scenes to the rolling pastures, fields, and farms that shape his everyday world. His paintings capture not just landscapes, but stories—moments of quiet country mornings, salty summer breezes, and the charm of rural life.

As an annual exhibiting artist at the Carolina Fiber Fest, Ken is especially known for his delightful animal portraits. He has a remarkable gift for finding an animal’s attitude—the tilt of a head, a knowing glance, a bit of sass—and bringing that personality vividly to life on canvas.

Beyond his gallery work, Ken is a passionate instructor here at ARTworks Vass where he leads two monthly hands-on painting classes; Pet Portrait and Barn Quilts. In his Pet Portrait class, he guides students step-by-step in painting their favorite pet or animal, bringing them to life from a photograph. His traditional North Carolina barn quilts , empowers both first-time painters and seasoned artists to create their own bold, quilt-inspired masterpieces.

The "Meet Our Artists" series of events at ARTworks Vass is designed to provide guests with an opportunity to chat with our featured artists, glimpse at their tools-of-their-trade, and learn more about their creative processes. During some of these events, you'll be able to watch your favorite artists at work, and many of our artists will host a trunks show so that guests have an opportunity to browse a larger body of work than generally represented at the gallery.  

During all of our special events, Nibbles and Sips are served.

If you have any questions, or if you'd like to receive additional information about our Meet Our Artists Series, email at info@artworksvass.com, or call 910-245-4129.
