Different from the beginning, he was a voracious reader and easily entertained himself. In 1950s small town Texas, if you didn’t go to school, you worked in the fields, and if you didn’t play sports or go the route of the ministry, there wasn’t much a place for you. So in 1957, he graduated along with 24 other Hubbard high school seniors and enrolled in Baylor University. In 1961, he enlisted in the US Army and was sent to Vietnam on a 13-month tour of duty.

Ken recalled that he gained confidence in himself in the service, and it was where he first realized he could be an artist. The culture he encountered in Asia introduced him to mysticism and was forever an influence on his artwork. Following the military, Ken returned to study at North Texas State University in Denton, receiving a BA in Advertising Design and his MA in Ceramics in 1969. He later went to the University of California in Berkeley to study glass blowing. Ken continued on at NTSU as a teacher and gallery director for many years. He inspired students with his belief that an artist should create in every facet of life, and felt students had just as much to teach him as he them.

Ken designed much of clothing he wore, which were assemblages of materials and obsessive attachments that formed beautiful textile pieces which lived as he moved. His “Spirit Jacket,” a highly decorated Levis jacket, was included in an international traveling exhibition and corresponding book, American Denim, in 1975. 1976-79 brought the national tour of the “Treasures of Tutankhamen'“ to Dallas. Ken was inspired to gold leaf much of his work during this period. Ken explained this work as “ritualism,” where the collecting, concept, and execution come together.

From his earliest work, Ken talked of “reacting to found objects as a medium, by transforming the material’s definition to create artwork that was viewed with a new meaning defined by the viewer.” He commented on this transformation as his “interest in the symbolism of the subconscious mind.” Photo courtesy Terry Samples https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610ab26e6eff8011f82acba2/1631939616982-JMTO3C4HU1XJIM2I3YMJ/A_Havis_House_1986_015+copy.png About Photo courtesy of Adrian Anderson. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610ab26e6eff8011f82acba2/1631938382832-359Y451WY26JX1YRE1EG/ken%2Bcowhide%2Band%2Bmilitary%2Bjacket.jpg About - Ken was a huge collector of cultural artifacts, and hosted what he referred to as the “No Museum” at his home. It was filled with various collections and his artwork, installed as fabulous displays of culture, texture, color, and design. He felt that “a true artist is a revolutionary. A revolutionary is only someone who is being creative.” And Ken was a revolutionary in every aspect of his life — in his teaching, artwork, fashion, collecting, and his ritual performances and house parties.

He exhibited at the Laguna Gloria Museum of Art in Austin in 1975 and the New Orleans Museum of Art in 1976. In 1979, he had shows at the Montana Museum of Art in Montana in Bozeman, the Art Museum of South Texas, Corpus Christi, and the Contemporary Art Museum in Houston. In 1981 he exhibited at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte. His work continued to evolve in the years after he left the University. Some in Dallas recall his “Fashion Play” in 1984, where he produced and presented a performance of handmade garments and props staged in a “rebirth” of society. There was no separation between his metaphysical credence and what he presented as visual art. His final retrospective exhibition of his artwork was in 1993, curated by two friends, Murray Smither and Kevin Curry, at Dallas’s 500X art space. He tragically passed shortly after due to complications from AIDS.

Those who knew him recall his outrageous house parties and colorful performances, his highly decorated clothing, his smile, and his mysteriously beautiful artworks. He had a natural gift that allowed him to bend simple mediums, such as clay or found materials, to the alchemy of his emboldened artwork. He left no door in his life unopened, and lived with full heart and soul. He gave those he encountered the gift of acceptance — to fully express themselves through creativity, in both art and life. Ken Havis was a guru to the people.

Ken always called me his “invisible” friend, probably because I too could be found behind the scenes being Vernon’s assistant.

We all owe Vernon a huge debt of gratitude. We have dedicated this website to Vernon to honor him and the important part he played in Ken’s life and work. We miss you, Vernon.

Ken on His Work - BLACK SPIRAL POT 1972, Inspired by Caddo Indian water bottles. The spiral was a favorite motif of theirs. Actually the oldest motif common to all primitive ceramics.

Glass, metallic thread, metal flake, crystal, mother of pearl, acrylic on cotton canvas. 28” tall Mer is the first object I did after leaving North Texas. As are all the dolls, she is a self portrait. I wanted an image that existed equally in the spiritual and material world, and since the mermaid is a land and water being, I took her as a springboard. Since that time there has been some kind of love affair going on with her and my work. Of course she is a symbol for the deep subconscious.

Glass, metal flake, acrylic paint on cotton canvas. 8” tall I do not construct doll forms. I buy them already made. Self 2 was a gingerbread man, Mer was a Dolly Parton doll. Ever Ready Eddie was a Pierrot doll. Ever Ready was Mer’s PR man; he takes care of things, carries messages, a sort of go between. Ready Killowat is a prototype for him. Lots of energy even it it’s sometimes miss directed. Photo courtesy of Webb Gallery
