Ken Thomsen

Ken Thomsen states: “I have always been interested in the sea; I suppose it comes from my Danish and Norwegian parents. I grew up in Los Angles and after graduating from high school I studied photography at the Art Center College of Design. I later served in the navy as a photographer during the Vietnam War. After the war I returned to Los Angeles and started “Thomsen Graphics,” a service which provides press ready plates and lithographic negatives to printers. I have been living in beautiful upstate New York ever since I sold my business in 1981. Of the scores of models which I have built through the years, I have none in my own home. They all have been sold through galleries and probably all are in private collections.”
