Mountain Trails Galleries –

Kenneth P. Payne, 1938-2012

Mountain Trials Gallery sadly announces the passing of our founder and long-time sculptor-in-residence Ken Payne.

Born into the ranching heritage of the Southwest, Ken began his artistic career as a painter focusing on the landscapes, cowboys, and native peoples of the Southwest. While always pursuing his passion for art, Ken became an accomplished pilot, even flying for the commercial airline that later became Continental Airlines. As a lifelong student of history, Ken spent many hours researching stories about the West. In the late 1970’s he decided to turn his talents toward bronze sculpture and for more than four decades produced close to 150 sculptures depicting the action, danger, and even the humor of many a frontier situation. His sculptures have been collected nationally and internationally by both private and corporate collectors. Ken pioneered the idea of sculpting in public and was featured in a nationally-televised program entitled “Sculpting with Ken Payne.” He will be remembered as one of the most influential Western sculptors of the twenty-first century and his legacy will live on through the artistic talents of his sons, Vic and Phillip, and grandson Dustin Payne.
