Keni’s Music brings a love of music to ArtWalk with his
collection of guitar frames.
Each frame holds a picture of a famous guitarist with a look-a-like
miniature guitar mounted to the frame. His attention to detail
is on full display in his miniature guitars. Each guitar is
a perfect replica of its famous owner’s instrument.
Keni began making his guitar fames in the early 1990s after
leaving his previous career as an accountant. He wanted to do
something full time that melded with his love of classic rock
music. Relocating to Land O’ Lakes, Fla., he started his
new company. His guitar frames were the perfect impetus for
him to leave the world of accounting and rock into the world
of music.
Each guitar frame has a picture of a famous guitarist holding
their guitar that has been artfully replicated on the side of
the frame. Keni’s guitar work is similar in style to the
art of glass bottles with miniature ships inside. He takes painstaking
care to create a piece that has each small detail. “Although
the frames have pictures of musical artists, they also make
a great frame to hold a picture of your own budding musical
icon,” a gallery spokesperson said.
Keni’s creations include such icons as the Beatles, Jim
Morrison, the Eagles and many more.
Keni’s Guitar Frames are located on ArtWalk’s main
level. With three and a half floors and more than 300 local,
regional and national artists, ArtWalk is located at 611 W.
