Ken Silver discontinued his education for two years to pursue a career in fashion design. He then worked his way through law school designing clothing for a French fashion house and was ultimately admitted to the New York Bar, but continued to work as a fashion designer, fabric designer, and colorist. He went on to design and build a chain of clothing stores in Canada that featured his own exclusive designs. Following his return to the States, Mr. Silver spearheaded the design and concept planning as an active partner in large-scale mixed use real estate projects in and around NYC. While doing so, he exhibited his photography in venues throughout the US, including solo shows in the gallery districts of Manhattan, East Hampton, Beverly Hills, and Carmel. Despite the rigors of an active and varied career and an extensive travel schedule, Mr. Silver has always made time for his writing and is quick to trivialize his impressive resume. “First and foremost, I consider myself a writer. Since 2004, I have done little else. Aside from my wife Barbara, with whom I reside in Manhattan and Woodstock (NY), and our three children, my screenplays and works of fiction form the core of my existence.” Currently, he is completing the novelization of Songs for the Deaf, one of his optioned screenplays.
