Kusterer Artworks

This gallery contains artworks created by Ken Kusterer.

Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Ken Kusterer had just learned the typesetter’s trade in 1963 when he entered his local college, Yale University, to study graphic design. Civil rights, anti-poverty, and anti-war activism delayed his graduation for years, and led him to think that the study of social change skills was more urgent than art.

After an almost 40-year career teaching, writing, and advocating for economic and social change in Latin America and the United States with his wife Faith, he suffered a meningioma that ended his research and writing days.

Art seemed more important again, and the nature of his art -- which had always been linear, graphic, or architectural – was transformed.

Since he began to show in mid-2008, his work has won a blue-ribbon Skelly Award at the annual Rehoboth Art League show, and a juried place in the annual Chatauqua show in Tennessee. He is a member of the Delaware Shore Artists Group, and is one of the best-selling artists in the Rehoboth Art League member gallery. Since October, 2010, he is one of 8 artists represented at the Artworx 19971 gallery at 20 Baltimore Avenue in Rehoboth Beach, DE.
