A little about Ken Wood
Born in Perth Scotland to Scottish parents Jim and Ella. My father was a Head
chef and my mother his cook. I was brought up in a variety of hotels and moved
around  Scotland for the first 14 years of my life. Jan  1965 we moved to
Scarborough where my parents bought their own hotel. I bought my first antique
when I was about 10 and by the time I was 12  I washed the windows and swept
the floors of two small antique shops in Aberdeen buying such things as whales
teeth, old cameras and coins. When We moved to Scarborough I looked after a
little antique shop belonging to a friend of my father. At 15 I was advertising in
the local paper for silver and was going to people's houses buying silver spill
pots and cruet sets. I have not stopped since.
Always interested in painting and art  at the age of 17  I went to Scarborough Art
School and then on as an apprentice at a large printing works.  I now use these
skills restoring old oil paintings for the trade. I also buy and sell works of art of
all kinds.
I still paint and try, when I can, to get out with my paints and paint the local
countryside ( which is wonderful here in Yorkshire.)
