Karl E. Kipp

Born and raised in the Southern Tier of New York State, I then moved to Buffalo, N.Y. area at age 19 and in 1968 settled in Lancaster, N.Y.

I have always had an interest in art. I am self taught and as such have not had a predetermined approach to my chosen media through the opinions and rules laid down by others. My techniques have been formulated by testing different methods of using my tools, sometimes good, sometimes not, but experience is gained from both. I have, of course, studied the works of other artists, acquiring both inspiration and insight from the way they present their subjects.

Primarily the media I use is graphite (both regular and water soluble) to render my creations on 70 lb. to 140lb. art paper; depending on the effect desired. I have been producing artwork in one form or another most of my life, first as a hobby, later in business for advertising purposes and eventually as appreciation for my style grew, taking on commissioned work for individuals requesting a home, a business, an old homestead or a favorite boat for example.

The body of my work presently is of historic value such as old buildings, bridges and historic sites no longer in existence. I feel a certain responsibility to preserve parts of the past, where I can, for the future. I am proud and honored, in this respect, to have been asked recently to assist in the production of a book which depicts the architecture and history of the Lancaster area. This book will also be used to help schoolchildren better understand and appreciate the past events and growth of our town and the villages within its borders.
