Little Wolf Press is a two-person team run by Ken Lovell and Beth Lovell, Connecticut artists. Our etsy shop features our digital fine art prints, original watercolor paintings and ink wash drawings. We are artists, cobbling our lives together, doing this thing we cannot not do. We teach, consult, collaborate and make drawings, prints, paintings, graphic novels and photographs. If there is something here you have questions about, please message us. Art for us is a way to connect with each other and the world.


About Ken Lovell

Ken Lovell is a visual artist living and working in Connecticut. He works with both traditional and digital materials.

Artist's Statement

My working method involves both digital means and traditional fine art concerns. Random elements and research material are programmatically combined using a digital collage technique of my creation. With these computer generated templates as a starting point an image evolves, serially, with printed matter being altered by subjective physical performance. This mechanism of production allows elements of chance (the voice of the medium) to co-exist with painterly choices.

Artist's Statement

In her poem Three Foxes by the Edge of the Field at Twilight, Jane Hirshfield writes:

There is more and more I tell no one,
strangers nor loves.
This slips into the heart
without hurry, as if it had never been.

I draw from my daily life: the weather, my errands, my family. The moments I am drawn to record are visually arresting: a staggering group of clouds, someone's posture when they are lost in concentration, or random patterns in puddles or shadows; but not neccesarily the events you would recall if someone asked about your day.

For the past three years, I have been posting my daily drawings to Flickr, to my blog, and to Facebook. These can be simple line drawings, quick color studies, or a sketch that gets reworked the following day. A rewarding aspect of posting online is the feedback: the comments, the "likes", and the conversation the pictures bring about. Many drawings are of the local sky and weather, and sometimes later I will run ito a friend who says, "I saw that the other day and wondered if you were going to draw it."

Since most people do not have time to hang out skygazing together, the drawings are a way to share a connection to nature. Usually I am painting a view from the back deck of our house while I am burning dinner for my family.
