Kalenze Kraft |
As a prominent North Dakota painter just
emerging on the United States art scene, Kalenze Kraft originally was
attracted to the light and form of architecture and studied Interior
Design before moving on to becoming a self-taught oil painter.
Kalenze Kraft was raised on a cattle ranch in North Dakota. The
romantic wilderness always attracted her, and her family were
well-steeped in American West culture, promoting rodeos and team
ropings. Kraft's roots as an artist go deep, and her stylized
Western Americana paintings owe their penetrating realism to her
lively rural upbringing.
Kraft's influences range from C.M. Russell to Degas and Moet, and it
is also easy to think of her as something of a westernized Norman
Rockwell, as her scenes capture the everyday moments in a magical,
timeless and enduring manner. A specialist in equine/horse art
and people, Kalenze Kraft is a new American artist worth adding to
your collection. |
