Born in Hull, Kenneth’s career began as an inspiring teacher at Hull College of Art and later as principal lecturer at Exeter College of Art. He created six carved stone panels in his home town of Hull for the Cities Civic Centre Gardens before giving up teaching in 1970 to concentrate on the Testament Sculptures installed in the chapter house of Exeter Cathedral 1974. The fifteen instalments were depicting and reinterpreting familiar Old and New Testament stories.
He later moved to the village of Lympstone in Devon where he set up his studio together with his family home. He produced predominantly figurative works, mostly modelled in clay and cast in bronze.
He was a fellow of the Royal Society of British Sculpturers and exhibited regularly. A man deeply serious about his art but equally ready to let his wit loose when allowed. In 1997 Kenneth was honoured for his contribution to sculpture in the region with an honorary doctorate from Plymouth University. He died in 2007.
