Judge
Ken Auster
While working on his Bachelor of Fine Arts
degree from Long Beach State University, Ken built one
of the world’s most prominent silkscreen and T-shirt
companies, creating now legendary sur¿ng art.
In the mid 1990’s Ken moved to a more serious art
level, moving to oils and plein air. Ken describes himself
as a painter of his surroundings that communicates and
documents the reality of our times, the edge between
nature and man-made, the vitality of the city and everday
occurances that we take for granted.
In a relatively short time Ken moved to the
forefront of American contemporary impressionists. He
consistently walks away with gold medals and ¿rst place
awards at juried exhibits. His work has been in museum
exhibits at the Haggin Museum in Stockton, Colorado
History Museum in Denver, Laguna Art Museum in
Laguna Beach, the Bakers¿eld Museum in Bakers¿eld,
Orange County Museum of Art in Newport Beach, and
the Texas Museum of Art in Corpus Christi. He has
been featured in magazines such as Art & Antiques, and
Southwest Art. Articles have also appeared in Art Talk,
Los Angeles Times, Surfers Journal, and The Orange
County Register. His work is collected by galleries,
corporations and patrons worldwide.
Ken Auster is a signature member of the Plein
Air Painters of America, a founding member of Laguna
Plein Air Painters Association, and a signature member
of the California Art Club.

What is Plein Air?
Plein Air refers to a style of painting that became
popular in the mid-19th century and was advocated
by the French impressionists such as Claude Monet
and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Plein Air painting is done
outdoors in one sitting and the subject is the scene
before the artist. The invention of tube paint and the box
easel that carries paints and brushes and folds to be
easily transported, led to the popularity of this art form.
Why in Carmel?
Frank Hubbard Powers, a San Francisco attorney and
his wife Jane Gallatin Powers, an artist, were two of the
founders of Carmel along with James Frank Devendorf.
By 1901 they had bought up more than three fourths
of what is now Carmel-by-the-Sea. She was the ¿rst
Plein Air painter here, as well as a studio painter, and
she was a strong advocate for the arts. Jane and Frank
convinced many of their artist friends left homeless by
the 1906 San Francisco earthquake to move to Carmel.
By 1910 the San Francisco Call reported that 60%
of Carmel’s houses were built by citizens who were
devoting their lives to work connected to the aesthetic
arts. We are proud to have one of Jane Powers greatgreat-grandchildren as a frequent participant in our Plein
Air competition.
