There are many words that describe Master pastelist, Ben Konis. Bold, brilliant, charismatic, colorful all come to mind, but as we gather interviews for KACV’s newest locally produced program about Konis, the word “prolific” jumps to the top of the list. He was prolific, not only with his own work, but also with his ability to spread his knowledge and talent from person to person. Ask around, and chances are you or someone you know has taken or knows someone who has taken a class or workshop from Mr. Konis. Former students and friends of Konis from all over the country have sent emails and letters to us here at KACV and we have interviewed 3 local artists who studied under him. See what artists Len Slesick, Amy Winton and Yvonne Sangster have to say about their friend, teacher and mentor, Ben Konis.
