Baytown artist paints soldiers memories on Texas Avenue
Ken Pridgeon, a 76 year old Baytown artist, runs the Portrait of a Warrior Memorial Art Gallery at 308 W Texas Ave. He paints portraits of Texas service members who died in Iraq and Afghanistan, giving families a free keepsake. His mission grew from a personal resolve after serving 1953 to 1963 and facing Vietnam era backlash. He began with Wesley Riggs and Jesse Ainsworth, then expanded as requests poured in.
